In recent years many multinational enterprises have increased the
amount of their R and D performed in dispersed locations overseas.
In some cases this aims to provide improved products and processes
for host countries and in others to establish internationally
integrated programmes of more basic work taping into geographically
dispersed sources of scientific expertise. The detailed survey and
interview results reported in this volume provide the basis for a
detailed discussion of issues relating to both parent company
perspectives on such dispersed R and D, and the viewpoints of the
overseas "subsidiary" laboratories performing such work. The issues
covered include, the nature of the work done in overseas
facilities; the specialization of roles in geological R and D;
co-ordination practices; sources of ideas implemented in R and D
programmes; sources of funding in overseas R and D; attitudes to
government policies. Another key concern of the book is to analyse
the consequences of the spread of R and D by MNES for the various
countries in which they operate.
