Technological Capabilities, Technological Dynamism and Innovation Offshoring

Torben Schubert; Elisabeth Baier; Christian Rammer

In this paper we analyze the conditions under which firms decide to offshore innovation. We consider the role of internal technological capabilities and technological dynamism in the firm environment, distinguishing speed and uncertainty of technological change. Using unique data from the German Innovation Survey we find that while high speed of technological change tends to drive innovation offshoring, high uncertainty about future technology developments results in more innovation offshoring only for firms with low internal technological capabilities. Firms with high technological capabilities instead are less likely to offshore innovation when uncertainty is high. We argue that these differences in offshoring behaviour reflect differing strategic objectives. We show that for firms with low technological capabilities asset augmentation is more important while for firms with high technological capabilities asset exploitation is more important. When faced by high technological uncertainty firms with low technological capabilities offshore innovation strategically in order to reduce uncertainty by augmenting their asset base. For firms with high technological capabilities asset augmentation is less important. When faced by high technological uncertainty, they prefer to innovate onshore in order to keep stronger control of their key assets.

Regional Embeddedness of Multinational Enterprises in European Regions

Knut Koschatzky; Andrea Zenker; Elisabeth Baier

It is often argued that multinational enterprises (MNEs) act space-less in the global economy and that they are an essential mechanism in the internationalization of the transfer of knowledge and technologies. The existence of international inner-organizational learning and synergy effects distinguishes MNEs from market-based exchange relationships and national companies (The Oxford Handbook of Innovation, 2005). With their knowledge accumulating and processing capacities, MNEs can use product, production, distribution, and development competences, which they accumulated in their homeland and in all other socio-cultural and institutional contexts where branch plants are located. In this respect, MNEs can combine the advantages of globally-coordinated product and production strategies with the advantages of local proximity and specific locational factors (Management International Review 40:127–148, 2000).

R&D : la coopération franco-allemande dans la pratique

Elisabeth Baier; Andrea Zenker; Volker Tippmann

L’analyse que nous presentons ici est le fruit de l’experience de la cooperation franco-allemande en matiere de recherche. Elle reflete le vecu des chercheurs, directeurs de recherche et responsables de programmes de recherche bilateraux interroges par l’Institut Fraunhofer ISI dans le cadre de l’accompagnement des programmes bilateraux entre instituts Fraunhofer et Carnot (Zenker et al., 2013a), mandate par le ministere federal de la Recherche. La principale conclusion en est que le succes d’une cooperation bilaterale en matiere de recherche depend d’une maniere essentielle de facteurs individuels, institutionnels et politiques. En effet, la difficulte que pose la gestion d‘un financement conjoint, conjuguee aux differences culturelles, exige de la part des membres des equipes de recherche impliquees des capacites organisationnelles et manageriales prononcees, ainsi qu’une grande ouverture a l’autre, doublee d’une profonde tolerance, lorsqu’ils developpent une approche commune du projet pour le realiser au quotidien. Or ce qui semble a premiere vue un ‘surcroit de travail’ se revele en realite tres fructueux parce qu’il elargit l’acces a des infrastructures et a des savoirs existants, mene a une comprehension plus approfondie et plus intime des enjeux de l’interculturel, et favorise l’acces aux reseaux personnels des participants comme des marches dans le pays partenaire. Apres avoir rappele l’importance d’une intensification de la cooperation transfrontieres dans le domaine de la recherche, nous expliciterons les specificites inherentes a la cooperation franco-allemande, telles qu’elles sont apparues dans l’experience concrete des cooperations etudiees. Enfin, dans une analyse integrant les dimensions personnelles, institutionnelles et politiques ou societales, nous en presenterons les facteurs de succes comme les handicaps, et nous en tirerons quelques conclusions pour optimiser la cooperation bilaterale dans le domaine de la recherche.

Veränderungen der Arbeitswelt bis zum Jahr 2020

Elisabeth Baier; Simone Kimpeler; Jürgen von Oertzen

Kurzfassung Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) haben in den letzten Jahren stetig an Bedeutung gewonnen. Mittlerweile durchdringen sie alle gesellschaftlichen Bereiche. Ausgehend von der wirtschaftlichen Bedeutung des IKT-Sektors, den demografischen Trends sowie der Technikentwicklung widmet sich dieser Beitrag der Arbeitswelt im Jahr 2020. Die Ergebnisse beruhen auf einer Delphi-Befragung des Fraunhofer Instituts für System- und Innovationsforschung (Fraunhofer ISI) zur zukünftigen Nutzung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien. Nach einer Erläuterung zum methodischen Vorgehen der Delphi-Befragung werden die Ergebnisse der Befragung sowie Einflussfaktoren vorgestellt und abschließend Auswirkungen der Realisierung auf die Arbeitswelt von Morgen diskutiert.
