In that context, this study tests the impact that a nation’s development has on whether subsidiaries transfer innovation of products or that of processes. Survey data collected from 73 subsidiaries of Brazilian companies indicate that companies located in developed markets tend to transfer more product-oriented innovations than do those based in emerging countries. Furthermore, the size and age of a subsidiary has an impact on the transfer process. The larger and younger the subsidiary, the more likely a company is to favor the flow of product innovation into its headquarters. The level of national development was not identified as an influence on the flow of process innovation.}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Technology Management & Innovation}, author={Bezerra, Maitê Alves and Borini, Felipe Mendes and Ferranty, Maria Laura Maclennan}, year={2015}, month={Dec.}, pages={1–8} }
