How do multinationals contribute to innovation in the countries they operate in - within the subsidiary firms, and the local context?
This is over and above technology adoption in general.
There should be some impact on innovation culture in the local context? How do they impact the level of innovativeness and innovation skills in the country they operate in? Do they affect the quality of products and innovation? Do they help spread innovation?

However, a more positive case study is attached also, to create a more moderate balance of opinion.
@Ales, that is an interesting question by itself: whether multinationals innovate.
I would have thought the global landscape - competition between nations - is competitive enough to force multinationals to be innovative.
Your exception may be bigger than you think.
A related question is if multinationals help to speed up technology adoption.
Dear All,
Many MNCs simply do not wish to reveal the real innovations in their subsidiaries to outsiders. Enclosed please find a rare occasion when they agreed to show some innovations. Still, the content of the article was checked prior publication by the mentioned companies and some data was not allowed to reveal.

Absorptive Capacity is the key to a knowledge-based view. With this capability, the company could apply existing and new knowledge to the innovation process
