Strategic Motivations of Inward R&D FDI “This new book makes an important and original contribution to the international business field. It provides a series of valuable new insights and ideas for scholars interested in advancing their research into the strategic motivations for inward FDI from different countries of origin to different host countries, focusing on the exploitation and creation of knowledge through foreign-based R&D.
