\u25a0 International Workshop on Management of Foreign R&D: Experiences and Lessons from <\/b><\/span>Japanese and German Multinationals <\/b>

<\/b>March 10, 2007 at Hitotsubashi Mercury Tower, Kunicachi, Tokyo
Organizers:
Roman Bartnik, Mercator School of Management, Duisburg-Essen University
Sadao Nagaoka, IIR<\/p>\n

Size and strategic importance of foreign R&D have grown strongly since the 1990s.  Consequently, the coordination of R&D conducted in foreign subsidiaries, choice of knowledge sourcing and foreign R&D collaborations have become increasingly urgent issues to innovative firms in both Japan and Germany.
While Japaenese organizations have become famous for efficiently integrating R&D processes across organizational units and hierarchical layers, experiene in managing R&D across country borders is quite limited.  German companies, while being less integrative on the domestic level, have internationalized their R&D earlier and more extensively.  It would thus seem that both parts can learn from each other and this worksop was held hopefully to be a frist step in this direction.<\/p>\n
