R&D Investment of Multinational Corporations and China's Independent Innovation

China has attracted a huge amount of investment in R&D internationalization of multi-national corporations (MNCs), which is playing an important role in its economy. Constrained by natural resources, China has to attach more importance to technological progress and indigenous innovation in order to move beyond the old economic growth model. Technology seems inaccessible to outsiders, which prevents others from doing research in a comprehensive and systematic manner. In this book, technology is regarded as a factor of production that is allocated by MNCs across the world to maximize profits. Such rational economic behavior serves as our entry point to enhance existing theoretical achievements on R&D internationalization.Contents: PrefaceAbout the AuthorsAcknowledgmentsTheoretical Research on the R&D Internationalization of MNCsResearch on the Level and Efficiency of R&D Internationalization of MNCsMeasurement of Overall Indigenous Innovation Capacity of ChinaThe Facilitating Effect of R&D Internationalization on Indigenous Innovation in ChinaThe Inhibitory Effect of R&D Internationalization on Indigenous Innovation in ChinaKnowledge Spillover Effect of International Flow of R&D Capital on Indigenous Innovation in ChinaPath Choice for the Enhancement of Indigenous Innovation in ChinaCase Studies on the Air Separation Industry in ChinaPolicy Suggestions for the Enhancement of Indigenous Innovation Capacities of ChinaBibliographyIndex
