Abstract:

In the context of globalization, Chinese enterprises must maintain international competitiveness through achieving technological breakthroughs. At present, Chinese multinational corporations are trying to build an international R&D network and set up technology R&D centers in developed countries. However, international research and development as a knowledge and capital intensive investment has a dual need for sharing risks and knowledge monopoly. In addition, there are uncertainties such as technological gap, cultural compatibility and policy incentive differences between China and developed countries, leading to Chinese enterprises internationally. The choice of R&D network nodes faces both external disadvantages, source country disadvantages and emerging disadvantages. This study uses the binary selection model to analyze the impact of host country factors on the choice of nodes in the international R&D network of Chinese enterprises. The results show that market size, institutional quality, and the agglomeration effect of Chinese enterprises in host countries have a significant effect on the selection of international R&D network nodes, while R&D investment positively affects the choice of R&D network nodes, but the effect is not significant. In addition, the agglomeration effect plays a significant role in regulation, he higher the agglomeration effect of Chinese enterprises in the host country, the positive relationship between market size and international R&D network nodes strengthens, and the positive relationship between R&D investment and international R&D network node selection weakens.
