摘要：

This paper examines the relationship between performance and size of R&D laboratories operated abroad. Based on a theoretical argument, the paper proposes a concave relationship between laboratory size and performance, as well as a linear relationship between firm learning and laboratory performance. Empirical rests with 129 laboratories established by 27 multinational companies in the pharmaceuticals and electronics industries support these conjectures. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
