In order to take advantage of relatively cheap land and labor, multinational corporations extend business worldwide. However, due to the limitation of natural endowments and human resource, Innovation becomes the key factor, which plays a more-important-than-ever role for business sustainable development.
This paper examines the determinants of overseas R&;D of Taiwanese multinationals; including whether to invest in R&;D and how to allocate. Our empirical results indicate that the firm size, IT industry, entry mode, internationalization level, investment location, market motivations and technology acquisition are the determinants of overseas R&;D investment. Furthermore, whether above determinants remain significant when Dependent Variable turns to be overseas R&;D allocation? The empirical results suggest that firm size, industry category, entry mode and market motivations are no more significant. Instead, profitability becomes significant with negative affect. Besides, we also found the strong effect of technology acquisition on overseas R&;D investment and allocation. Different technology source acquired does play a moderating role in the relationship between independent variables and overseas R&;D.
