Abstract :
Recent models in international management view the internationally operating company as a coordinated network. The authors consider the R&D globalization process in the coordinated network companies. A model is presented, which shows that an international R&D infrastructure is designed to meet three main objectives: constituent technology development; product development; and technical support. Each of them requires building up a network, and has its logic for being globalized, its locational determinants, and its managerial issues
