“…Thus we regard the diaspora also as a useful lens to understand the link between knowledge transfer and interpersonal ties more generally. Furthermore, apart from the body of research on expatriates working within MNCs (e.g., Oddou & Mendenhall, 1991), the role of individuals as mechanisms for knowledge transfer in international business research has only recently started to receive significant scholarly attention (e.g., in the work of Agndal & Axelsson, 2002;Almeida et al, 2011;Almeida, Phene, & Li, 2010;Chetty & Agndal, 2008;Madhavan & Iriyama, 2009). Our paper also contributes to that literature.…”

“…The notion that knowledge can flow through interpersonal ties, even when people are not co-located, is important not only in a diaspora context, but also more generally. Thus Almeida, Hohberger, and Parada (2011) document the value to firms of scientific collaborations between individuals, whether in other firms or in institutions such as universities.…”

“…Regional scientific knowledge spillover To proxy the scientific knowledge spillover on the regional level, we adopted the method used in Almeida et al (2011). They captured the magnitude of regional knowledge spillover through the total knowledge created in each region, in the case of the US the individual states.…”

Compared to Almeida et al (2011), we identified the total scientific publications instead of patents due to this research focusing on scientific knowledge spillover rather than technologic knowledge spillover. Specifically, we obtained the total number of scientific publications listed on SCI for each state in the US during the 2003-2007 period.…”

This study investigates the effects of convergence of science and technology on innovation impact, specifically how convergence helps R&D organizations to apply scientific knowledge to their R&D activities. In addition to direct effects of convergence, we address the moderating effects of scientific capacity, knowledge spillover, and knowledge maturity from the knowledge side. The empirical analysis, which employs a zero inflated negative binomial regression model uses data on 2074 patents granted to US organizations from the pharmaceutical industry. The results show that an increase in the proportion of scientific knowledge in convergence has a positive and curvilinear relationship with innovation impact. Also, we find that the organization's scientific capacity, regional scientific knowledge spillover, and knowledge maturity positively moderate the relationship between convergence and innovation impact. Our findings underline the importance of convergence between science and technology as well as provide implications on how to improve the outcome of an organization's research and development process.

“…Alliances can be defined as "formal, legal entities that take time to establish and, being costly in terms of managerial time and attention, must be limited in their number, and targeted to specific needs. In an environment where the nature, location, and type of potential knowledge sources are continuously changing, firms need to develop flexible mechanisms of knowledge acquisition" (Almeida et al 2011).…”

In the new form of Globalization of R&D, Multinational (MNEs) firms have established their R&D units in emerging Asian countries, particularly in India and China. In the 1980s MNEs located their R&D units in their country of origin and were very reluctant to go offshore beyond triad (USA, Western Europe and Japan). However, in the last decade there is a growing trend of MNEs going emerging markets such as India and China. Beside this, sourcing knowledge from globally dispersed knowledge hubs is also one of the major motives of this emerging trend. These foreign R&D centers have developed linkages with the other actors of the host economy to build their assets. This study has investigated the linkage patterns of foreign firms in India from an in-house developed database. The ICT sector is considered as a test case to investigate the linkages of foreign firms with the Indian entities. The study observed that most of the foreign firms are collaborating with the other foreign firms located in India. Next to the foreign firms, Indian firms are preferable compared to university or government research institutes. It shows that industry-academia linkages are quite weak in India. Foreign firms' embededness with the local innovation system is only by linking with the local firms. Although, India has very strong government research laboratories, these are not playing important role in collaborating with the foreign firms. From the policy perspective, industry -academia linkages needs to be strengthened. MNEs enter markets such as India not only for potential markets and 'cheap' skilled human resources but also for knowledge and technology base emerging in the knowledge hubs of these countries. Also, most of the collaboration happens in peripheral (joint development) rather than core domain (joint R&D). Many of the firms are going for 'Open Innovation' mode to build up their assets in India.
