“…Disadvantages include the potential for increased costs due to geographic dispersion of R&D activities, jeopardizing budget control, increased risk of losing confidential information to competitors in the host countries of subsidiaries, and the possibility of a knowledge and technology gap between headquarters and subsidiaries. Gomes (2003) believes that the decision to internationalize or centralize R&D must take into account the specificity of the relevant product or service, the product life cycle model, and the transnational corporation management model. Individuals choose between available alternatives based on an interpretation of the available data on intervening variables, within the cognitive constraints of rationality.…”

Several studies about knowledge transfer in multinational corporations have found that the process is influenced by factors such as absorptive capacity, tacit knowledge and power relations, all of which impact knowledge sharing strategies between corporate headquarters and foreign subsidiaries. A multiple case study of Brazilian subsidiaries of three multinational corporations using in-depth interviews, based on a conceptual model consisting of four propositions, was conducted to identify factors linked to the knowledge transfer process and to assess their influence on that transfer. The first proposition tries to assess explicit knowledge, primarily through the use of IT tools; the second analyzes the role of the subsidiary within the corporate network and how it influences the degree of knowledge sharing. The third assesses the influence of subsidiary absorptive capacity and the fourth analyzes the impact of worker exchange programs on knowledge sharing between headquarters and foreign subsidiaries. Study results confirm the four propositions and enable the identification of relationships between factors, especially explicit knowledge and worker expatriation as complementary factors in knowledge transfer strategies.

This article aims to discuss how technological production has been affected by new organizational patterns of funding and evaluation, international transformations in terms of the reorganization of research centers, and changes in innovation practices. Researchers and scientists have had their activities redefined through new organizational formats that today are well-established. The purpose here is to verify the impacts that these tendencies have had on the scientific and technological production of Public Research Institutes. We analyzed the case of the Technological Research Institute (Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas-IPT) and found that from the 1990s onwards, research institutions in Brazil internalized organizational forms that enabled them to place themselves in the international agenda as reputational agents, and that the IPT internalized an international agenda, hiring new services and with new budgets. The institutions of scientific research tended to align their interests with hegemonic devices and to withdraw the participation of agents not able to make explicit the new formulas for recognition in the scientific field.

“…Passou a ocorrer em grandes empresas transnacionais o que alguns analistas chamam de diversificação tecnológica, uma nova forma de integração de conhecimento e das oportunidades de desenvolvimento de projetos. Segundo a análise de Gomes (2003), A diversificação tecnológica passou a ser uma importante característica das ETNs [Empresas Transnacionais], na medida em que as subsidiárias no estrangeiro têm assumido papéis específicos nas funções de P&D, seja na ênfase continuada ao processo local de inovação, seja no desenvolvimento de um capital organizacional que permite que as ETNs integrem as atividades tecnológicas das unidades dispersas. A crescente dispersão geográfica dos ativos estratégicos impulsiona a capacitação das filiais no estrangeiro, tanto em relação ao crescimento horizontal, das comunicações interfronteiras nacionais, quanto no sentido vertical, de utilização sistemática do conhecimento tecnológico das diversas bases da organização.…”
