Abstract With the transformation of Chinese companies from "manufacturers" to "investors",establishing overseas R&D institutions and making full use of the innovation outputs in the international market has become an important transformation and upgrading path for Chinese enterprises to achieve innovation.Although the existing studies have fully realized that the motivations and organizational management characteristics of overseas R&D institutions in developing countries are different from those in developed countries,it is regrettable that detailed analysis of the organization and management of overseas R&D institutions for developing enterprises has not been conducted systematically and the research conclusions are scattered.Based on this,this paper compares the core issues of the establishment of foreign R&D institutions,such as motivations,entry modes,strategic positioning and organizational forms,and proposes potential research directions for overseas R&D institutions.The conclusions of this paper make up for the shortcomings of existing overseas technology investment in emerging market,providing a solid literature basis for the empirical research on the establishment of overseas R&D institutions by Chinese companies.
