Abstract

  • This paper investigated the influence of country-level factors that have led to shifts in the patterns of international R&D investments made by Multinational Corporations (MNCs), from an exclusive focus on developed countries to a broader scope that also includes developing countries.
  • Differences in a country’s national technological innovation capability, that comprised the country’s capacity for the creation of technology, technology infrastructure and the development of human skills, were the most important factors in attracting R&D investments.
  • Different strategic motivations like home-base exploiting versus home-base augmenting foreign R&D investments are attracted to countries with differing national innovation capabilities. The country’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) score was also an important influence on R&D investments. International investor’s experience with the country, as measured by prior FDI inflows, was a critical element in attracting R&D investment inflows.

Tacit knowledge transfers within the boundaries of the enterprise are also enhanced by reduced distances between the firm’s different R&D facilities.

The sample was also similarly split using Business Enterprise Research Expenditures as a percentage of GDP (BERDPCNT) and the same tests repeated. We obtained an identical pattern of results further confirming the robustness of our findings.
