I would like to remind you to read the following articles:
Asakawa, K. (2001). “Evolving Headquarters-Subsidiary Dynamics in International R&D: The Case of Japanese Multinationals”, R&D Management, 31:1-14.
Asakawa, K., & Som, A. (2008). “Internationalization of R&D in China and India: Conventional wisdom versus reality”, Asia Pacific Journal of Management, 25: 375-394.
Several students will be nominated very randomly to explain the detailed content of the aforementioned scholarly papers in class. Moreover, please find out (1) the case of a multinational corporation running & managing their foreign R&D facilities very well in advanced &/or emerging economies & (2) evaluate key successful factors relating to the chosen case. Of course, if you can also find failed cases & their triggers in case, it would also be highly appreciated. We will also have class discussions on your findings tomorrow.
Thank you very much for your continued dedication to my course.
I wish you a beautiful rest of the day & I will looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning.
