Current Projects

[ For any enquiries, please see contact ]

Under the auspices of the overall research project 'Global Innovation' we currently have two major studies running, which are jointly referred to as 'Globalization of R&D':

• Globalization of R&D
  
  
  • The Internationalization of R&D: An Empirical Study of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises in Germany
    
    
  • The Role of Offshore R&D in Strengthening Competitive Advantage: Chances and Challenges in India

Both of these major studies, in turn, are based on several sub-projects that are conducted at our institute, often in cooperation with partners from the industry, academia and/or government agencies. Currently following sub-projects are running at our institute which are conceptualized as a part of one or both of the above mentioned studies.

• The Emergence of Indian Multinationals: An Empirical Study of Motives, Status-quo and Trends of Indian Investments in Germany [see details]
  
  
• Die Internationalisierung von Forschung und Entwicklung in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen der Luftfahrtszulieferer-Industrie
  
  
• Innovation Activities in India's IT Industry: Status Quo and Emerging Trends [see details]
  

A list of completed projects and study results (if published) can be found here.

This research project seeks to answer these questions by collecting empricial evidence to come to a conclusion. The research work is focussed on industry sectors, described here ("About us") .

Even though not exclusively focussed on a single region, the research project pays special attention to emerging R&D locations such as China and India.
