Abstract

We propose an integrated framework establishing the environmental and organizational contingencies under which the international dispersion of R&D activities benefits innovation performance in multinational firms. We suggest that R&D dispersion is more likely to enhance innovation performance – the smaller economies of scale and scope in R&D, the greater the technological strength of R&D locations and the stronger intra-firm knowledge integration. Employing a panel dataset of 175 R&D intensive US, EU, and Japanese firms, our findings provide support for this framework and suggest that these contingencies need to be taken into account simultaneously. Technology diversification strengthens rather than weakens the relationship between international R&D and performance, which we attribute to the positive influence of recombining knowledge sourced across diverse locations.

跨国研发与跨国公司创新绩效:一个综合研究视角
我们提出了一个综合框架,建立环境和组织的突发事件,在该框架下,研发活动的国际分散有利于跨国公司的创新绩效。研究表明,研发分散更有可能提高创新绩效——研发的规模经济和范围经济越小,研发地点的技术实力越强,企业内部知识整合越强。采用175家研发密集型美国、欧盟和日本公司的面板数据集,我们的研究结果为这一框架提供了支持,并建议需要同时考虑这些突发事件。技术多元化加强而不是削弱了国际研发与绩效之间的关系,我们将其归因于跨地区知识资源重组的积极影响。
