| contents | Technological strategies of transnational corporations affiliates in Brazil Eliane Franco Ruy de Carvalho Quadros Administración y Contabilidad developing countries Technological strategies transnational corporations This paper presents an analysis of the technological efforts made by Transnational Corporations(1) (TNCs)affiliates in Brazil. Many studies have indicated that most TNCs concentrate their main technological activitiesin their home, developed countries. However, empirical investigation has shown TNC affiliates in Brazil havepresented a higher profile than local firms in terms of both innovative performance and R&D efforts. This studyis an attempt to examine the technological efforts of TNC affiliates in Brazil and their main determinants,considering the recent changes in TNC strategies for global organization of production and technologicalactivities. The study is based on data analysis from 450 firms controlled by foreign capital operating in SãoPaulo State in 1996. The database was taken from the first PAEP Pesquisa da Atividade Econômica Paulista ,which comprises not only economic indicators, but also includes an innovation survey based on OECDguidelines. Using multivariate techniques, we have identified distinct strategies of TNCs subsidiaries in regard totechnological activities, which reflect different technological effort patterns. In addition, the article reveals thatsuch diversity of technological strategies has been influenced by the size of firms, the industrial sector to whichthe firm belongs and the nationality of foreign capital, in this order. 2004 artículo científico 1807-7692 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84110103 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=841 BAR - Brazilian Administration Review application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Administração BAR - Brazilian Administration Review (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.1 |
