Transnational Corporations and the Internationalization of R&D (Includes CD-ROM)
The World Investment report focuses on trends in foreign direct investment (FDI) worldwide and at the regional and country levels, as well as emerging measures to improve FDI’s contribution to development. This year’s Report presents recent trends in FDI flows and explores the emerging internationalization of R&D (Research and Development) by transnational corporations, highlighting its driving forces and implications especially in developing countries, as well as the need for active and coherent government policies to enhance development benefits. The Report includes a statistical annex, which is also available on CD-ROM.
