| Summary: | 博士 === 國立清華大學 === 科技管理研究所 === 102 === R&;D internationalization of the multinational enterprises (MNEs) has emerged since decades ago. In addition to setting up R&;D subsidiaries in the developed countries, MNEs have increasingly established their R&;D subsidiaries in the developing countries since the beginning of the 21st century. Based on the ownership-location-internalization (OLI) advantages of Dunning’s Eclectic Paradigm, the study extends the Paradigm by considering the interrelationships of OLI advantages influencing innovation performance of MNE R&;D subsidiaries. Internalizing determinants, mechanisms, and processes of both ownership advantage and location advantage are considered in the extended model. A dataset of 26 ICT-related MNE R&;D subsidiaries funded by the Taiwanese MOEA’s MRDC Program from 2003 to 2009 is collected. The system dynamics models of the proposed extended model are constructed and simulated. The results indicate that MNE R&;D subsidiaries can improve their innovation performance if they effectively develop R&;D capabilities and R&;D portfolio with the headquarters and local actors.
The extend OLI model offers more interactive and dynamic perspectives than traditional Dunning’s eclectic paradigm which mainly focuses why MNEs conduct FDI activities abroad. The study concludes that MNE R&;D subsidiaries can improve their innovation performance if they can effectively internalize ownership advantage of parent companies and location advantage of host countries. Some managerial and policy implications are provided.
