In this book Rajneesh Narula examines the interdependence ofglobalization and technological innovation at two levels: first,between locations, by examining the role of cross-borderinitiatives in the innovation process; second, between corporateentities, by studying the dynamics of inter-firm R&Dcollaboration.
* * Examines the international aspect of the interdependence ofglobalization and technology.
* Explores the role of cross-border interdependence in theinnovation process, as well as interdependence between firms.
* Reveals an interesting paradox: locations and firms areincreasingly interdependent through supranational organisations andthe flow of investments, technologies, ideas, and people; butknowledge creation suffers from 'inertia' and remainsconcentrated in a few locations.
* Draws on a wide variety of data at the firm and national levelin the sphere of R&D and technological innovation.
* Spells out important lessons for both policy makers andmanagers on industrial policy as well as the organisation ofresearch and development by firms.
