| Abstract: | This paper analyses recent survey data on large corporations to compare two different approaches to the decentralization of R&D. Internationalization is an approach in which overseas laboratories are given a small and usually subordinate role in corporate research activity; whereas globalization involves a greater commitment to overseas research based on a systematic division of labour between laboratories in different countries. It is argues that the globalization of R&D will become more important during the 1990s. |
