▪️Title: “Cross-border Organizational Strategies for Knowledge Appropriation of Codified and Complex Technologies”

▪️Speaker: “René Belderbos (KU Leuven/ HIAS Visiting Professor)

▪️Abstract: Appropriating returns to R&D is a crucial concern firms conducting R&D under weak intellectual property rights regimes. To safeguard against such risks, firms can resort to an internal linkage strategy in which technologies are developed in cross-border inventor teams. We argue that the adoption of such organizational strategies depends on the characteristics of the technology developed – its codifiability and complexity – which influence imitability and misappropriation risks. Our study of internal linkage strategies by 613 foreign R&D establishments of 101 leading MNEs suggests strong technological boundary conditions to the use of organizational strategies to deal with IP risks abroad.
