This paper redefines the internationalization of R & D based on the nationality of the inventor of those patented technologies, thereby clarifies the limitations of internationalization of R & D using conventional methods.
When we rely on the approach, the internationalization of research and development of these U.S. IT companies will appear different from the past.
The utilization of foreign-born R & D personnel in the United States with H1-B visas by these IT multinational companies in the United States played a role that could no longer be ignored in the creation of new science and technology knowledge. This implies that new R & D internationalization indicators that take into account the use of these companies' new foreign nationals at home and abroad are essential.
When examining the cases of US IT major eight MNCs, especially GAFA's, the following point can be pointed out. When looking at the knowledge creation mechanism of patented technology inventions of these companies from the perspective of international R&D system, there is not only the crossborder aspect of R & D, but also foreign R & D personnel in the United States.
