The crucial actors of a global knowledge-based economy are
multinational enterprises (MNEs). MNEs depend on the embeddedness
in an institutional framework; their competitive advantage depends
on the cross-border utilisation of regional and national
capabilities. The innovativeness of a company is therefore based
also on regional innovation systems. Multinational Enterprises and
Innovation contributes to a better understanding of the
interconnectedness between organisational and regional learning. On
the basis of case studies in Germany and France, this volume
investigates how MNEs cope with technical, economic and
institutional uncertainties by drawing upon the complementary
strengths of organisational and regional networks in national and
European contexts. The book links two theoretical debates which are
currently still largely disconnected -- the debate on learning
processes in MNEs and the debate on the regional bases of
innovativeness and competitiveness -- answering the question of how
the internationalisation of R&D is reconciled with regional
competences.
The crucial actors of a global knowledge-based economy are
multinational enterprises (MNE). At the same time, the competences
in the country and even in the region where the headquarters are
located still play a crucial role for the localisation of R&D.
MNEs depend on the embeddedness in an institutional framework,
since their competitive advantage in the world-wide competition
depends crucially on the cross-border utilisation of regional and
national capabilities. Complementary to transnational networks, the
innovativeness of a company is therefore based also on regional
innovation systems. Multinational Enterprises and Innovation
contributes to a better understanding of the interconnectedness
between organisational and regional learning. On the basis of case
studies in Germany and France, we investigate how MNEs cope with
technical, economic and institutional uncertainties by drawing upon
the complementary strengths of organisational and regional networks
in national and European contexts. Thus, the book links two
theoretical debates which are currently still largely unconnected
-- the debate on learning processes in MNEs and the debate on the
regional bases of innovativeness and competitiveness. In this way,
we try to answer the question how the observed internationalisation
of R&D is reconciled with the crucial role of domestic
locations and regional competences.
