Abstract

A new study reveals a marked rise in US activity of R&D by foreign companies. How large is direct foreign investment in R&D in the USA? What exactly do these facilities research and develop? Why have non-US companies set up new operations or expanded existing facilities for R&D in the USA? How do these firms decide where to locate? To address these and related questions, the operations of over 50 European, Japanese, and South Korean R&D facilities were studied. All belong to the the electronics, biotechnology or automotive industries. The results of this study are analysed.<>
