Abstract: Abstract In order to enter into foreign markets with technical strength, it has become increasingly critical for Japanese companies to maximize the effectiveness of research and development. In addition to global western firms, companies in Korea, China, and other emerging nations are gaining strength. To maintain a superior position in relation to these competitors, Japanese companies must develop products that are attractive to customers in a timely fashion. For this purpose, research and development (R&D) will require the best personnel in a company and companies must deal with strategically crucial information. Furthermore, as a place to amass cutting-edge information, it is most efficient to determine a base and concentrate the R&D efforts. Accordingly, global firms with many foreign sales and production offices opt to keep R&D activities within their home countries.
