The volume focuses on the issue of globalization of research and
development (R&D) in China. China has become the number one
choice of R&D for multination corporations (MNCs), according to
a recent survey. Many of the largest MNCs in the world, such as
Microsoft, GE, GM, HP, Motorola, and Lucent, among hundred of
others, have established R&D facilities. The phenomenon has
become a hot issue among policy debates in many countries regarding
job outsourcing, national and regional competitiveness, and China.
This book examines the issue of foreign R&D, particularly,
those from MNCs in China: the drivers, missions, locations,
management challenges, policies, and implications for China's
innovation system. This book was previously published as a special
issue of the Asia Pacific Business Review.

In less than thirty years, China has become a major force in the
global economy. One feature of its rapid ascent has been an
enormous expansion of the country's science and technology
capabilities, leading to the emergence of a large and increasingly
well-educated talent pool. Yet China finds itself engaged in an
internal debate as to whether its full potential can be realised.
At the heart of this debate lie a number of uncertainties
surrounding the quality, quantity and effective utilisation of
China's S&T workforce. Written by two leading experts in the
field, this book is the first in forty years to address these
critical issues. Building on exciting new research and a plethora
of comprehensive statistical materials, its findings will have
significant policy implications both for China and the
international community, especially in terms of issues relating to
national competitiveness and innovation potential.

technology transfer that are emerging as Japanese companies seek to

Along with the political and economic reforms that have
characterized the post-Mao era in China there has been a
potentially revolutionary change in Chinese science and technology.
Here sixteen scholars examine various facets of the current science
and technology scene, comparing it with the past and speculating
about future trends. Two chapters dealing with science under the
Nationalists and under Mao are followed by a section of extensive
analysis of reforms under Deng Xiaoping, focusing on the
organizational system, the use of human resources, and the emerging
response to market forces. Chapters dealing with changes in medical
care, agriculture, and military research and development
demonstrate how these reforms have affected specific areas during
the Chinese shift away from Party orthodoxy and Maoist populism
toward professional expertise as the guiding principle in science
and technology. Three further chapters deal with China's interface
with the world at large in the process of technology transfer. Both
the introductory and concluding chapters describe the tension
between the Chinese Communist Party structure, with its
inclinations toward strict vertical control, and the scientific and
technological community's need for a free flow of information
across organizational, disciplinary, and national boundaries.
