Leveraging Innovations in Multinationals

Research Notes

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book deals with the phenomena of development and transfer of innovations within multinational corporations (MNCs), thus of interest to general management and particularly to the fields of international business, strategy and innovation management. Adopting a business network perspective, the theoretical discussion and empirical findings presented in this volume concerns: critical aspects of innovation development at subsidiary level; effects of innovation characteristics and integrative mechanisms on innovation transfer performance; the nature of the relationship between the processes of innovation development and transfer. The book concludes with a theoretical discussion that questions the validity of the modern view of the MNC as a transnational organization and arguments are provided in favor of a representation of the MNC as a federation of relatively loosely-coupled entities.
