This book presents a comprehensive picture of the current state of internationalisation of R&D in the business sector. The various chapters show the main patterns across countries and sectors, examine the drivers of the process, and reveal impacts of R&D internationalisation on home and host countries using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Complementary case studies reveal further insights into the process at national and sectoral level.
