Abstract
As we noted in the previous chapter an important factor in stimulating an initial realisation of the emergence of foreign R&D to a significant role in the activity of many US MNEs were the results of a benchmark survey of these companies’ activities in 1966. In the next section of this chapter we present these 1966 results, and more detailed data from 1977 and 1982 benchmark surveys, to provide a background profile of the emergence and extent of overseas R&D in US MNEs by industry.
