Dr. Kerstin J. Schaefer presented joint research with Prof. Dr. Stefan Hennemann and Prof. Dr. Ingo Liefner on the study „Give us ideas! Creating innovativeness through strategic direction of intra-firm technology transfer“ in the International Business and Strategy Research Seminar at the Henley Business School in Reading on March 16th. The study, which combines patent and interview data in a mixed-methods approach, shows how the strategic spatial split of R&D and the subsequent orchestration of knowledge flows between the locations is used to upgrade innovation capability in a Chinese case study firm.
