In globalising economies, particularly those going through a process of economic integration such as those economies within the EU, regions forge an increasing number of linkages with other locations within and across national borders. This is largely carried out by the technological efforts of Multinational Corporations (MNCs). This book explores the regional dimension of Europe in terms of localised technological comparative advantages and the location of innovative activities by MNCs. Using an empirical analysis John Cantwell and Simona Iammarino cover such important themes as: MNC technological activities and economic wealth MNCs and the regional systems of innovation in Italy, UK, Germany and France the geographical hierarchy across European national borders.

The crucial actors of a global knowledge-based economy are multinational enterprises (MNEs). MNEs depend on the embeddedness in an institutional framework; their competitive advantage depends on the cross-border utilisation of regional and national capabilities. The innovativeness of a company is therefore based also on regional innovation systems. Multinational Enterprises and Innovation contributes to a better understanding of the interconnectedness between organisational and regional learning. On the basis of case studies in Germany and France, this volume investigates how MNEs cope with technical, economic and institutional uncertainties by drawing upon the complementary strengths of organisational and regional networks in national and European contexts. The book links two theoretical debates which are currently still largely disconnected -- the debate on learning processes in MNEs and the debate on the regional bases of innovativeness and competitiveness -- answering the question of how the internationalisation of R&D is reconciled with regional competences.

Innovation is without any doubt one of the most important fields of action in Europe's attempt to compete on a global level. Indeed, the establishment and development of support systems of innovation is fundamental in order to achieve the goals of the Lisbon Declaration, in which the EU states that it aims at becoming the world's most knowledgeable and thus the world's most competitive region by 2010. This book, which is the result of a specialist workshop co-organised by TuTech Innovation (Hamburg, Germany) and the Warsaw School of Economics held in Warsaw (Poland) in early 2005, looks at the subject matter of innovation in Europe under a number of perspectives. It is aimed at contributing to the debate on the implementation of innovation policies and actions plans in Europe, by undertaking two main tasks. The first is to take an overall look at the state of the art of innovation in Europe. More specifically, by providing an overview of the implications of national innovation systems and policies in the European Union, linking economics and technology in an innovation context. The second task the book set itself was the description of trends on innovation in various European countries and regions. This book provides helpful insights to all those researching an analysing the means to deliver innovation in European countries. Due to its nature and international scope, this publication is of special interest to educators, scientists and researchers working in the innovation sector. It also provides useful insights to politicians and other academics interested in innovation issues in the new EU member countries.

In a rapidly globalizing economy, and particularly in the face of a process of economic integration such as that occurring in the EU, regions forge an increasing number of linkages with other locations within and across national boundaries through the local technological development efforts of multinational corporations (MNCs). By using a database of patents granted to the largest firms by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), we have shown in previous research that the pattern of MNC networks for innovation conforms to an internal (within national boundaries) hierarchy of regional centres. In this paper the hypothesis of the combined significance of cumulativeness and incremental change in innovation is examined by testing the extent of continuity in the sectoral composition of technological profiles of different EU regional centres between the 1970s and the 1990s. The results provide support for our hypothesis that a geographical hierarchy of regional locations can be established also across national boundaries within the EU. It is shown that the core European regions can be divided into two kinds-those in which MNCs have consolidated areas of traditional specialisation for the regions in question, and those in which there has been a shift towards (and a relative growth of) the development of fields of high technological opportunities.
