Abstract
Multinational companies increasingly locate their R&D activities outside their home countries, thus being one of the main contributors to the ongoing process of the internationalisation of R&D. The internationalisation of corporate R&D is gaining momentum and the New Member States of the European Union, including Hungary are increasingly taking part in that process. The present paper analyses three aspects of this topic, first, the characteristics of R&D activities carried out by foreign affiliates in Hungary. Second, what are those locational factors which attract these types of investments to Hungary, distinguishing between production-related and knowledge-seeking R&D and relating locational factors in Hungary to those in the home country. And third, we analyse what the impact of this type of investments on the local economy is, where we also distinguish between production-related and “stand-alone”, knowledge-seeking projects. In the analysis, company case studies were used based on questionnaire-led semi-structured interviews with leading managers of 20 foreign-owned automotive and electronics companies.
