Description of the research topic:
Emerging market firms are engaging in R&D activities both domestically and internationally. The motivations of internationalisation and R&D, and the link between them are well understood in literature. However, there is a need to explore R&D motivated internationalisation originating from emerging markets, to understand how these firms benefit from international R&D activities domestically and internationally. In order to explore this topic, research is conducted in three stages. First, a systematic review of literature on R&D internationalisation will identify key concepts, frameworks and specific gaps in knowledge. Second, an analysis of international trade and investment data (e.g. TiVA) in selected innovative sectors can provide a global view of internationalisation patterns of R&D and performance implications at an aggregate level. Finally, specific case studies are prepared to analyse motivations and impact of international R&D efforts, prepared on individual companies and their particular international R&D activities.
The innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem requires a complex investigation. Internationalising firms have an opportunity to enter this ecosystem. Firms that specifically internationalise to pursue R&D provide an excellent opportunity to research this ecosystem. Even more interesting is how emerging market firms integrate into this system.
