<i>'. . . interested readers will find valuable theoretical and empirical insights into the multifaceted, complex and sometimes contradictory character of the internationalization of corporate R&D. . .'</i>
- Bernard Dachs, Journal of Evolutionary Economics,
Experts from a network of thirteen European countries attempt to promote a better understanding of tendencies towards a new international dynamic of technology creation and diffusion. The contributors to the book then explore the factors determining the process of decentralisation and the resulting consequences for national systems of innovation.
This thorough and easily accessible analysis of new trends in the technological strategies of MNEs and their implications for national systems of innovation will be of enormous interest to those specialising in the internationalisation of the economy or the economic analysis of technical change. In addition, the book will provide an excellent source of background information for policymakers when drafting new policies, and for corporate decision-making in the private sector.
