    Since the early 1990s most if not all MNEs prefer to conduct their r&d in their respective home countries. FDI in R&D has been a major source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries like China and India. There is evidence to believe that the rationale of access to science need not be confined to setting-up of units in developed countries.
