Auf der Suche nach Wissen: Eine empirische Analyse von ausländischen Direktinvestitionen in F&E

  • Chapter
Ausländische Direktinvestitionen

Auszug

Sowohl für Manager als auch für Ökonomen und politische Entscheidungsträger ist ein besseres Verständnis unternehmerischer Standortwahl für ausländische Forschungs- und Entwicklungs- (F&E-) Einheiten essenziell. Da verschiedene Investitionsmotive verschiedene Strategien erfordern, sind Unternehmen gezwungen diverse Fähigkeiten und organisationale Strukturen zu entwickeln (Nachum und Zaheer, 2005). Für politische Entscheidungsträger liegt die Bedeutung, was Unternehmen dazu bewegt, F&E im Ausland zu betreiben und neues Wissen im Ausland zu akquirieren vor allem in der engen Verknüpfung zu Fragen der nationalen Standortpolitik. Daher ist es nicht überraschend, dass internationale F&E-Aktivitäten auf das anhaltende Interesse von Forschern und Praktikern stoßen (für einen Literaturüberblick z.B. Ambos, 2005).
