“Businesses that outsource research and development (R&D) overseas are more likely to innovate than those who outsource at home” Professor Michael Mol, of Warwick Business School.

“From our surveys, more than 83% of U.S. industry respondents report using some type of outsourcing activity to perform part of their R&D functions.” R&D Magazin

“No company, no matter how capable and talented its R&D team, can claim to have all the smart people in the world. It’s very important to go where the best capabilities are. If companies are doing it solely for the cost savings, to me that implies a zero-sum game.” Stewart Witzeman, director of the Eastman Innovation Center
