“…This is how the relationship is commonly perceived, for example, in the case of post-communist countries, which at one point were strongly dependent on Western countries for technological aid and assistance (Michailova and Jormanainen, 2011). As such, firms from advanced countries have invested in less developed ones to diversify their products to fit these growing markets (Gerybadze and Merk, 2014). Consequently, the literature on cross-border knowledge transfer has hypothesized that the magnitude of the knowledge transferred from international sources will tend to increase in relation to the quality gap between the origin and destination of these knowledge flows (Kotabe et al, 2007).…”

Purpose This paper aims to assess the often repeated, but empirically unconfirmed, supposition that there is a positive connection between foreign board members (FBMs) and firm innovativeness and to set a research agenda for future studies on the topic. Design/methodology/approach The analyses are based on a large sample of firms within the European Union, utilizing patent and trademark data together with information on the national diversity of the boards. Findings The analyses confirm that there is a positive association between FBMs and firm innovativeness. Contrary to expectations, FBMs from less innovative countries than the countries of their host companies are more associated with innovative firms than are FBMs from more innovative countries. Research limitations/implications This study provides empirical support for propositions, drawn from resource dependency theory and group effectiveness/diversity theories, that diverse boards of directors can lead to greater firm-level creativity and innovativeness. It also outlines a detailed research agenda for future studies to build on the tentative findings presented in this paper. Practical implications The findings suggest that greater national diversity in the board of directors can enhance innovation. Originality/value Earlier studies on board diversity have not analyzed empirically the issue of national diversity. The originality of this paper lies in its attempt to address this gap in the corporate governance literature.

“…The study has been conducted as an empirical analysis of 12,309 manufacturing firms in China. Gerybadze & Merk (2014) has emphasized that there are company-specific investment models and presented the new research on R&D offshore location decisions. The study has also paid attention three types of innovation-based R&D activities for developing technology competences in ECs: developing quality and number of R&D labs, producing new products at particular markets in ECs, accelerate application for patent activities by inventors in host countries.…”

Multinational companies (MNCs) show an apparent tendency toward research and development (R&D) for the last three decades. Many kinds of research have recently focused on R&D in emerging countries (ECs) to reveal the differences from R&D in developed countries. This paper presents a literature review consisting of 23 articles from 2004-2019 on R&D in emerging markets. By conducting content analysis, it has been analyzed their prominent concepts and results. According to the research focus, the articles examined have been classified into five main groups – internationalization of R&D, R&D activities, R&D investments, technology-based R&D, R&D offshoring – along with articles that cannot be grouped. The main purpose of this study is to determine the current tendency of R&D in emerging markets. Thus, it provides to understand in which position R&D has in emerging markets, and under which circumstances it is successful. Furthermore, practitioners can benefit from the results of the presented study. The systematic evaluation of the findings contributes to the formation of a general view for future research.

“…A sub-theme in this literature is that international patenting may be especially important for internationally-oriented innovation and trade in R&D intensive goods and services [1,11,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”
