Multinational R&D in China: differentiation and integration of global R&D networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on case studies of multinational R&D centres in China, this paper views the central task of corporate R&D globalisation as: differentiating R&D units to take advantage of location-specific resources and integrating R&D efforts in multiple locations to achieve the whole corporations goals. Four differentiated R&D units are identified: the technology competence unit, the system competence unit, the assignment unit, and the support unit. These four units form a complete R&D system covering all stages of R&D life circle. Three main driving resources – technology strength, human capital, and the market – are investigated, as well as their relationships to different types of R&D. Control, communication, and external collaboration issues are also discussed for these four types of R&D units.

The Roman domination and domatic numbers of a digraph
A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a digraph $D$ is a function $f: V(D)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ has an in-neighbor $u$ with $f(u)=2$. The weight of an RDF $f$ is the value $sum_{vin V(D)}f(v)$. The Roman domination number of a digraph $D$ is the minimum weight of an RDF on $D$. A set ${f_1,f_2,dots,f_d}$ of Roman dominating functions on ...

متن کاملKnowledge Integration in Global R&D Networks
In recent years, multinational corporations have increasingly adopted a global approach to research and development initiatives, offshoring these activities towards different parts of the world and establishing global R&D networks. By doing so they aim to acquire highly skilled science and engineering talent (Lewin et al. 2009), increase proximity to their customer bases (Trefler, 2005), and re...
متن کاملManaging global research and development in China: Patterns of R&D configuration and evolution
The growing internationalization of R&D activities challenges multinational corporations (MNCs) to formulate technology strategies and manage increasingly diffuse and diverse networks of R&D laboratories and alliances in the context of disparate national institutions. This paper examines the evolutionary processes of MNCs’ R&D strategies in China in terms of two principal dimensions, i.e. geogr...

Let $R$ be a ring, and let $n, d$ be non-negative integers. A right $R$-module $M$ is called $(n, d)$-projective if $Ext^{d+1}_R(M, A)=0$ for every $n$-copresented right $R$-module $A$. $R$ is called right $n$-cocoherent if every $n$-copresented right $R$-module is $(n+1)$-coprese-nted, it is called a right co-$(n,d)$-ring if every right $R$-module is $(n, d)$-projective. $R$...
