DESCRIPTION:Prof. Charles Dhanaraj\, IMD\n"EVOLUTION OF MULTINATIONAL R&D 
 IN EMERGING MARKETS"Abstract\nThe study investigates the growing number of
  multinational enterprises (MNE) research and development (R&D) centers in
  emerging markets like India\,  using in-depth case studies of India base
 d R&D units of nine European MNEs nested within three dominant technology 
 sectors -  automotive\, information and communication technologies\, and 
 pharmaceuticals. Two insights from the global strategy literature - arbitr
 age\, adaptation\, and aggregation (AAA) as drivers of -R&D strategy (Ghem
 awat\, 2007) and embeddedness as an enabler for the flow of legitimacy\, k
 nowledge and resources within MNE networks (Andersson\, et al\, 2002) – 
 provide the theoretical anchors. While we find some evidence of the tradit
 ional pattern of MNE R&D triggered by adaptation needs of local markets\, 
 we also uncover an alternative trajectory\, ubiquitous in emerging markets
 . This trajectory is triggered by arbitrage in emerging markets\, and evol
 ves over distinct configurations\, each triggered by a set of contingencie
 s. The twin trajectories provide a comprehensive framework to explain the 
 evolution of global innovation networks of MNEs. Keywords:  Innovation\,
  MNE R&D\, Emerging Markets\, R&D strategy\, Arbitrage\, Adaptation\, Aggr
 egation\, AAA framework for R&D\, internal embeddedness\, technical embedd
 edness\, and business embeddedness.
