The present paper calls attention to this neglect and seeks to advance the management the multinational R&D as an area of study for international business scholars. To this end, the paper first examines the key contributing factors to increased foreign R&D investments among multinationals. It then reviews the research literature on the subject. Finally a research agenda is proposed. |
