N2 - The paper considers processes associated with, and conceptualization of, the internationalization of R & D, using the pharmaceuticals and chemical/energy sectors as ways of illustration. Wider issues relating to research internationalization are considered, including changes in the macro research and technological environment and the growth of inter-organizational research collaboration. Other wider organizational changes are considered, including the impact of information and communication technologies, in relation to research location and structure, before the paper concludes with a re-assessment of current conceptualization of R & D in light of these changes.
