In this book Rajneesh Narula examines the interdependence of
globalization and technological innovation at two levels: first,
between locations, by examining the role of cross-border
initiatives in the innovation process; second, between corporate
entities, by studying the dynamics of inter-firm R&D
collaboration.
* * Examines the international aspect of the interdependence of
globalization and technology.
* Explores the role of cross-border interdependence in the
innovation process, as well as interdependence between firms.
* Reveals an interesting paradox: locations and firms are
increasingly interdependent through supranational organisations and
the flow of investments, technologies, ideas, and people; but
knowledge creation suffers from ‘inertia’ and remains
concentrated in a few locations.
* Draws on a wide variety of data at the firm and national level
in the sphere of R&D and technological innovation.
* Spells out important lessons for both policy makers and
managers on industrial policy as well as the organisation of
research and development by firms.
