摘要：

As companies transfer their R&D activities abroad they, will have to confront a challenging management issue how to successfully, operate R&D laboratories dispersed around the world. Both Matsushita Electric and Sony, seem to have coped with this issue skillfully by introducing new management systems and practices-redefining the mission and goals of their global R&D, assigning two types of projects at the same time, rather than specializing projects among different labs, coordinating not by large-scale committees or meetings but through human relationships among a small number of top R&D managers, drastically, changing their organizational structures, and so on. It appears that both companies have already realized some of the anticipated benefits.
