摘要

当前的全球化阶段涉及地理上分散的研发投资，这些投资并不局限于发达经济体。这些跨境研发投资是由跨国企业探索和/或利用外国地点的战略推动的。在本文中，我们分析了地点选择以及项目级投资战略（即勘探或开发）和东道国经济类型（即先进或新兴）对创新框架和地方创新能力重要性的调节作用。我们对2006-2016年期间制药和生物技术行业588个与研发相关的外国直接投资（FDI）项目的分析表明，尽管东道国的创新框架和整体能力确实会影响选址决策，但其最终影响取决于项目级投资战略和经济类型的组合。我们的研究结果对旨在加强跨国公司与地方行为者之间联系的外国直接投资政策以及国家科学、技术、创新和教育政策和方案具有政策意义。

Globalization of Innovation: The Moderating Role of Project-level Investment Strategy and Country Type in Location Choicee for R&D-related FDI

The current stage of globalization involves geographically dispersed research and development (R&D) investments that are not confined to advanced economies. These cross-border R&D investments are driven by multinational enterprises’ (MNEs’) strategies for exploring and/or exploiting foreign locations. In this paper, we analyse location choice and the moderating effect of project-level investment strategy (i.e. exploration or exploitation) and type of host economy (i.e. advanced or emerging) on the importance of the innovation framework and local innovation capabilities. Our analysis of 588 R&D-related foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries during the 2006–2016 period reveals that whereas a host country’s innovation framework and capability overall do affect the location decision, their ultimate effects are conditional on the combination of project-level investment strategy and type of economy. Our findings have policy implications for FDI policies aiming at enhancing linkages between MNEs and local actors and national science, technology, innovation and educational policies and programmes.

期刊介绍： Transnational Corporations is a double-blind refereed journal published three times a year by UNCTAD. Its basic objective is to publish policy-oriented articles and research notes that provide insights into the economic, legal, social and cultural impacts of transnational corporations and foreign direct investment in an increasingly global economy and the policy implications that arise therefrom. It focuses especially on political and economic issues related to transnational corporations.
