“…In addition to the increasing amount of foreign R&D investment hosted, developing economies have recently been transforming themselves into foreign R&D home countries. The number of foreign R&D establishments owned by multinationals that are headquartered in developing countries has climbed over the last years (von Zedtwitz ). These phenomena have motivated many studies to investigate the major forces explaining the increasing intensity and complex nature of foreign R&D. Among the factors analysed, there are (trade) liberalisation, technological change, market transformation, competition and the broader industrial organisation.…”

This paper surveys several strands of the economics literature focusing on the international mobility of FDI in general, and the offshoring and outsourcing of R&D activities in particular. The paper outlines key findings, identifies common features and existing divergences and addresses the relevant research gaps emerging from the R&D offshoring and outsourcing literatures. The aim is to investigate the main drivers of R&D (re)location and the possible impact that the offshoring and outsourcing of R&D activities might have on the competitiveness and growth of both firms and countries. Factor price differences, trading costs, countries' size and openness, relative skill endowments, productivity differentials, completeness and enforceability of contracts, knowledge production and spillovers and IPR regimes all shape foreign sourcing and the specific R&D location patterns that emerge. The overall impact of offshoring and outsourcing in general—and of R&D in particular—cannot be seen in isolation, as it is part of more complex globalisation dynamics.

In this article, I provide an introduction to the six papers included in this Journal of Technology Transfer Special Issue entitled Innovation Management: Chinese Experience and Global Implications. Together with a summary of each manuscript, I integrate the findings and insights presented with the extant literature, discuss their contribution and global implications, and consider potential future research directions.
