    Abstract

    The paper investigates innovative collaboration undertaken by newly
    established foreign invested R&D units in emerging markets. In particular, the
    paper investigates how foreign invested newly established R&D centers in
    emerging markets can leverage local knowledge networks, such as universities,
    in order to increase innovation performance. The theoretical framework is
    based on theories on trust, as well as institutional theory. The findings suggest
    that cognition-based trust as well as affect-based trust is needed for successful
    innovative collaboration, however, in emerging markets affect-based trust is
    more important than Westerners are used to. This is due to the different
    institutional backgrounds, in emerging markets and developed markets
    respectively.
