Abstract: In the face of the current turbulent economic environment, multinational enterprises may choose to invest in R%D for sustained competitiveness. This study seeks to provide insights on the impact of MNEs' compensation strategies on the performance of geographically-dispersed R%D. Our findings support the existence of a multi-faceted context of compensation dimensions and variables positively associated with R%D output; factoring on the differentiated mandates of decentralised units. Further, we demonstrate that the provision of financial rewards and the effective organisational design stand out as the most influential drivers of advanced R%D performance; regardless the type of research implemented in these units.

Keywords: compensation strategies; competence creation; competence exploitation; FDI; foreign direct investment; decentralised R%D performance; research and development; Greece; multinational enterprises; MNEs; financial rewards; organisational design. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
