Features: The author, Robert Buderi, takes us into some of the most successful companies in the world today—IBM, Siemens, NEC, GE, Lucent, Xerox, HP, Intel, and Microsoft—and delves into their top-tier corporate research institutes. We explore how these corporate research institutes operate and are managed in today's rapidly changing globalized economy. These industry giants have all faced challenges and made significant decisions in their own corporate research and development processes—such as spending on research funding, allocating research resources, and managing cross-regional and cross-cultural research institutions. Their experiences and lessons hold immense reference and guiding significance for Chinese companies today. The pioneers discussed in this book—both the original trailblazers and the later new ones—have braved hardships, engaging in various research, innovation, and management activities across different historical periods and cultural regions. They are the architects of the future blueprint; they are the engines driving tomorrow's world.
