R&D Labs in China, 1987 - 2003
1. Role as a global lead market and as a world manufacturing center
2. Increased Competition from Internationalization
3. Abundant human capital• Significant stock of R&D staff • Expanded their university systems• Extensive ‘Diaspora networks’
4. Government involvement • Strong network of public research organizations (e.g. Chinese Academy of
Sciences)• Nurtured the development of attractive regional clusters• Infrastructure for the protection of intellectual property• Offering incentives and infrastructure support
Trend of MNC R&D in China (Drivers)
Our Focus (MNC R&D: For better or for worse?)
Horizontal Spillover • Reverse engineering
• Skilled labor turnovers
• Demonstration effect
Vertical Spillover • Backward linkages
(1) Spillover effects
(2) Crowding out effect
Maturity Stage
- Develop own technology and new products - Corporate R&D will be aimed at both local global markets
Development stage
- Accumulate strategic assets & improve technological capability- Improve productivity and efficiency
Starting-up stage
- Understand the trends of technology development in time- Learn the advanced technology from MNCs
• 3-stage model of R&D development Bruce D. Merrifield 3-stage Innovation Model (1986)

• MNC R&D impact in relation to the following variables:
Regression Analysis – Summary
Stages of MNC R&D evolution:
Maturity Stage- International markets have equal importance to domestic markets- Corporate R&D will be aimed at global markets directly
Development stage- Accumulate strategic assets & improve technological capability- Development of oversea market
Starting-up stage- Understand the trends of technology development in time- Learn the advanced technology from developed countries
• Limited spillover effect• MNC R&D impacts only the total profit of local firms
Regression Analysis – Analysis
• Industry and corporate contributions1) Increase supply of qualified employees• Cooperate with selected universities in research areas
and recruitment events to attract skilled graduates• Organize travelling and trainings to improve employee
exposure2) Foster interactions with MNCs to facilitate information
exchange
Insights for Chinese Domestic Firms & Govt
• Government initiatives1) Introduce incentives to attract technology, talent and
capital from abroad• Establish science parks• Provide R&D subsidies• Set up R&D incubators
2) Increase strategic investment in human resources3) Targeted FDI policies4) Protect better intellectual property rights
Insights for Chinese Domestic Firms & Govt
• Limited timespan of data• Unable to carry out time series analysis to evaluate the
MNC R&D effect over time
• Limited in the degree of detail of the data available• e.g. no patent filing data of a type of company of a
specific industry
• Further topics to be investigated• Spillover effects on the academia• Comparison with MNC R&D in India
