1. The research project “Innovation and Strategic Renewal of the Multinational Corporation” explores the development and transfer of innovations in multinational corporations. It specifically investigates trends in the generation and dissemination of innovations emanating from foreign subsidiaries, revealing some striking and often surprising findings about how foreign subsidiaries are able to contribute to the technological and strategic renewal of the multinational group.
   
   A series of papers are presently coming out from the project, casting new light on the nature and evolution of the multinational corporation.
