R&D globalization and innovation upgrading of Chinese enterprises:An explanatory framework from location-connection per-spective
Geography has obvious theoretical advantages in explaining the globalization of en-terprises'R&D.Based on the theory of international direct investment and the relevant theories of economic geography,this paper constructs an analytical framework for the globalization of Chinese enterprises'R&D from the two dimensions of location and relationship,and takes Hua-wei as an example to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics of enterprise R&D globalization and the interaction mechanism between R&D globalization and enterprise innovation capability upgrading,so as to confirm the applicability of the interpretation framework.The study believes that the independent innovation ability and technology absorption ability accumulated by enter-prises in related fields are the prerequisites for their R&D globalization.On this basis,choosing a suitable location to continue to deploy overseas R&D centers,making full use of the technical advantages and rich innovation resources of the host country,and relying on good inter-state rela-tions and the cooperation network relationship between Chinese enterprises and host country en-terprises,universities and research institutes are important strategic choices for enterprises to ob-tain innovation resources and knowledge spillover to achieve technological upgrading.Howev-er,in the context of increasingly fierce global science and technology competition and the preva-lence of trade protectionism,the changes in inter-state relations have had a great impact on the R&D globalization of Chinese enterprises,and should also be regarded as an important factor for Chinese enterprises to consider overseas R&D investment.Finally,drawing on Huawei's R&D globalization development experience,suggestions are made for Chinese enterprises to choose appropriate locations to effectively implement overseas R&D investment to enhance their inno-vation capabilities.At the same time,it also provides theoretical and case support for relevant departments to formulate policies and measures to encourage Chinese enterprises to go global.
