Abstract

Many western firms have to find an answer to the massive and aggressive Chinese growth. In the past it has been relatively easy: China was a destination for low cost manufacturing and a market for low cost products. Today this is different: China has become very competitive in many technological areas. And as such more and more transnational companies have identified China as a preferred place to conduct offshore R&D activities. Today we see many firms that go beyond simply innovating for China. Their Chinese R&D labs are responsible for many of their breakthrough-innovations in recent years.
