Citations in the corpus
- What determines the location choice of R&D activities by multinational firms? (2013, background): “The literature on the internationalisation of R&D suggests that knowledge-sourcing has become an important motivation for establishing R&D activities abroad (Florida, 1997; Frost, 2001; von Zedtwitz and Gassmann, 2002; Ambos, 2005; Ito and Wakasugi, 2007; Belderbos et al., 2008).”
- Location choices within global innovation networks: the case of Europe (2008, background): “In the sample of 130 German R&D foreign R&D units surveyed by Ambos (2005) in 2000, a slightly higher proportion of capability augmenting facilities (30%) has been identified.”
- The nature of innovation in global value chains (2021, background): “…home-base exploiting FDI in R&D (Kuemmerle, 1999), supply-side factors emerged as critical triggers of this phenomenon (Cantwell, 1995); they contribute to explain the evolution of firms’ innovative activities over time and space toward more home-base augmenting types of foreign R&D (Ambos, 2005).”
- Chinese foreign direct investment in R&D in Europe: A new model of R&D internationalization? (2012, background): “Subsequent studies further confirm the evolutionary tendency of the goals of overseas R&D units (Ambos, 2005; Asakawa, 2001; Cantwell et al., 2004; Florida, 1997; Lehrer and Asakawa, 2002).”
- Do managers behave the way theory suggests? A choice-theoretic examination of foreign direct investment location decision-making (2007, background): “Mission also reflects location, as Ambos (2005) shows for the establishment of laboratories, a complement to Kuemmerle’s (1999) argument that FDI can both augment and exploit R&D.”
