Linking FDI motivation and host economy productivity effects: conceptual and empirical analysis (2007, methodology): “Le Bas and Sierra (2002) perform a re-analysis of Patel and Vega’s classification using European patent data, but again there is no prediction or analysis of likely effects of different FDI types.”
High-Tech Exports from Developing Countries: A Symptom of Technology Spurts or Statistical Illusion?

Chinese foreign direct investment in R&D in Europe: A new model of R&D internationalization? (2012, background): “A number of empirical studies have identified an evolutionary transition from technology exploitation to technology exploration (Ambos, 2005; Bas and Sierra, 2002; Cantwell et al., 2004; Florida, 1997; Ronstadt, 1978).”
The relative importance of home and host innovation systems in the internationalisation of MNE R&D : a patent citation analysis (2002, unknown): “…have been hypothesized to be associated with locations that exhibit a technological or comparative advantage, relative to other locations, and particularly relative to the home location of the MNE seeking these assets (Dunning and Narula 1995, Patel and Vega 1999, Le Bas and Sierra, 2002).”
Why are Some Organizations More Competitive than Others? Evidence from a Changing Global Market (2004, background): “…of industrial contexts, evolutions in product and process technologies are occurring at such a rapid pace that many firms have established foreign R&D sites to accelerate the generation and acquisition of new knowledge (Kummerle, 1999; Murtha, Lenway, and Hart, 2001; Le Bas and Sierra, 2002).”

INTRODUCTIONOffshoring administrative and technical work: New fields for understanding the global enterprise (2009, unknown): “…accepted taxonomy (Kuemmerle, 1997, 1999a) suggested a bifurcation of offshore R&D facilities into home-base-augmenting (HBA) and home-base-exploiting (HBE) roles (see Criscuolo, Narula, & Verspagen, 2005; Le Bas & Sierra, 2002; Narula & Zanfei, 2005; Niosi, 1999; Patel & Vega, 1999; Zander, 1999).”
The impact of R&D offshoring on the home knowledge production of OECD investing regions (2012, background): “The PCT procedure is considered an international procedure to seek patent protection because it does not suffer from bias towards any particular country (Le Bas and Sierra, 2002; Khan and Dernis, 2006).”
What determines overseas R&D activities? The case of Japanese multinational firms (2008, background): “There has been a remarkable expansion of overseas R&D activities by multinational enterprises (MNEs) in recent years (Kuemmerle, 1999; Granstrand, 1999; Patel and Vega, 1999; Pearce, 1999; Pearce and Papanastassiou, 1999; Le Bas and Sierra, 2002).”
