3 A. Management summary Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 3
4 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The study examines current practices in globalizing R&D It considers the drivers and organizational models in six industries > Globalization of value chains has increased significantly in recent years The focus of globalization has expanded from manufacturing and assembly to the entire value chain > When it comes to R&D, however, the process of globalization is still largely unclear Various patterns can be found in practice > Roland Berger and the esb Research Institute have conducted an empirical study to explore the drivers of R&D globalization and the organizational models applied across six industries: Engineered products, Automotive, Pharmaceuticals, Electronics & IT, Chemicals, Consumer goods > The study especially addresses Drivers of R&D globalization Criteria for the selection of R&D locations Internal organization of R&D networks Tools for managing the global R&D process Communication in global R&D networks Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 4
5 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The examined companies can be grouped into four clusters based on the drivers that push the globalization of R&D forward > Three main drivers for globalization of R&D were examined Access to markets Access to technological know-how Reduction of R&D cost > Main drivers of R&D globalization are market and technology access The study revealed that reducing R&D costs is a less important driver > Based on the degree of importance of market access and technology access, companies can be grouped into four clusters Globalization leaders view market and technology access as being of high importance Global marketers view market access as being more important than technology access Technology hunters view access to technology as the main reason for globalization Opportunistic players are not driven to globalize R&D systematically but based on single, concrete business requirements Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 5
6 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Each cluster shows a typical model for globalizing their R&D > Globalization leaders create a network of central research and local development centers. Activities are coordinated throughout the entire global R&D network > Global marketers generate basic innovations and product platforms in global research centers. These are transformed into products for local markets in local development centers > Technology hunters focus R&D efforts on a small number of global research centers that specialize in individual research areas. Local customization of products is limited > Opportunistic players drive their R&D efforts mainly out of their home base. Global efforts are limited and typically driven by individual product, client or production requirements > Despite mainly company-specific differences, industries show a tendency towards certain clusters, e.g. pharmaceutical and electronics companies score high on the technology dimension, while automotive companies score high on the market dimension Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 6
7 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY A set of success factors for the management of global R&D networks has been identified > To develop a successful R&D network, companies need to start from corporate and R&D strategy Importance of the drivers technology, market know-how, or opportunistic cost reduction to be determined first > Technological know-how should be concentrated as much as possible to leverage economies of scale and scope > Market know-how should be developed locally, in decentralized units > Managing globalization of R&D should never be an end in itself, concrete business reasons have to drive established structures and applied methods > Historically grown structures must be closely scrutinized and adapted to match current strategic considerations > While structures need to be adapted, particularly if grown historically, changes should be implemented carefully to avoid personnel and know-how loss Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 7
8 B. Key questions and study approach Analysis of current practices in globalizing R&D in different industries Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 8
9 Globalization has gone beyond mere trade relations Foreign direct investment grows stronger than global GDP and exports GDP, Exports, FDI World [1985=100] CAGR FDI 10.7% Exports 5.9% GDP 2.5% Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 9
10 Companies drive the globalization process by relocating all parts of the value chain to lower-cost countries Including R&D Past relocation focus Functions Current relocation focus R&D Current focus Focus in the past Procurement Manufacturing Assembly Service Administration > Relocation focus in the past has been strongly on manufacturing and assembly functions > Focus has shifted towards globalization of entire value chain from R&D to Administration Source: RB Study "Global Footprint Design" Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 10
11 Companies take very different paths when globalizing their R&D activities Some typical patterns are emerging Cost leverage System engineering remains in Germany Detailed engineering is outsourced to India to leverage cost advantages Global concentration Consolidation of research in three locations worldwide ThyssenKrupp Bayer Centralization Focus of R&D activities in Germany because of availability of experts German machinery producers Global decentralization 180 researchers in two central locations 1,200 developers in all relevant local markets Givaudan Differentiation New research centers have been opened in Shanghai and Singapore to benefit from local trends and know-how Novartis Global coordination 32 R&D locations in 30 countries coordinated by one global research center 3M Source: Roland Berger research Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 11
12 To find out more about the patterns and success factors of R&D globalization, our study set out to answer five main questions Guiding questions What drives companies in globalizing their R&D? How do companies pick their R&D locations? How do companies organize their global R&D network? What tools do companies apply to manage their global R&D process? How do companies communicate and exchange know-how globally? > Are cost savings the main driver? > How important is access to local markets? > What role does access to technology play? > Are locations picked for strategic reasons? > What impact do historically grown structures have? > How are tasks distributed among locations? > To what extent do different locations collaborate? > How are external partners included? > Do patterns differ depending on the type of R&D project? > What tools are used to achieve different strategic goals? > Are there any differentiating tools and methods? > Do different organizational setups require different means of communication?

15 C. Drivers of globalization Access to markets and technology drives R&D globalization decisions Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 15
16 Drivers for globalization of R&D Market and technology access are clearly more important than cost Drivers for globalization of R&D 1) Rationale Access to markets Access to technological know-how MAIN DRIVERS > Market and technology access play the most important role in decisions to globalize R&D > Cost considerations play a role in individual projects, but are generally less important for strategic globalization decisions Reduction of cost 2.4 1) Likert scale importance of driver 1 low... 5 high Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 16
17 BACKUP Drivers of R&D globalization have been checked using a set of criteria in the study DRIVER Access to markets Access to technology Reduction of cost CRITERIA IN QUESTIONNAIRE > Access to local market > Better response to local market requirements > Fulfillment of local content requirements > More successful market introductions > Technologically more advanced innovations > Reduction of time-to-market > Access to qualified R&D staff > Access to global pools of professional know-how > Reduction of R&D cost > Access to subsidies Importance of drivers assessed based on an evaluation of each criterion on the Likert scale (1-5) Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 17

22 Different R&D globalization cluster patterns emerge when viewed from an industry perspective Drivers for globalization of R&D Industry patterns CHEMICALS ELECTRONICS / IT AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIERS CONSUMER GOODS PHARMACEUTICALS ENGINEERED PRODUCTS Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 22
23 CHEMICALS INDUSTRY The chemicals industry typically conducts its basic R&D in global development centers and application engineering locally Industry-specific drivers for R&D globalization (1/6) TECHNOLOGY GLOBALIZATION LEADERS MARKET > Generally there is a strong differentiation between basic engineering and application engineering Basic engineering is conducted in large R&D centers typically in Germany and USA, but more and more in India and China Application engineering requires proximity to markets (for instance in agriculture and petrochemicals) > Organical chemistry is generally more technology oriented, similar to the pharmaceutical industry as the focus is often on API development Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 23
24 ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY The electronics industry is driven by the need to have access to leading technology worldwide Industry-specific drivers for R&D globalization (2/6) TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY HUNTERS MARKET > Technology is the main driver for the success of a product > Customizing products to the needs of local markets is less important Products in this industry are frequently similar around the globe > Combinations of various software and hardware technologies are required to create a new product > Access to all relevant technologies for a product on time is key for keeping pace with the market > Presence at global technology centers (e.g. Bangalore, India) is required to be part of global technology trends Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 24
25 AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIERS Automotive suppliers typically globalize R&D to provide local application support to customers Industry-specific drivers for R&D globalization (3/6) TECHNOLOGY GLOBAL MARKETERS MARKET > Automotive suppliers typically differentiate between basic engineering and application engineering > Basic engineering is often conducted centrally in the industry's big technology clusters (Germany, Japan) > Application and production engineering are close to customers and manufacturing > Since automotive suppliers are already located in the industry's technology clusters, globalization decisions are mainly taken to follow markets > Cost is expected to play a much stronger role in the future Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 25
26 CONSUMER GOODS In consumer goods market orientation tends to be more important than technology access for globalizing R&D Industry-specific drivers for R&D globalization (4/6) TECHNOLOGY GLOBAL MARKETERS > Market orientation is key, since consumer products depend strongly upon local tastes and trends > Product development is done for local markets and centralization of R&D for other markets is difficult > Technology orientation is important for the development of global platforms (e.g. basic ingredients in the food industry) > Therefore market orientation tends to outweigh technology orientation in globalization of R&D MARKET Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 26
27 PHARMACEUTICALS INDUSTRY In pharmaceuticals, technology access is a more important driver of globalization than market access Industry-specific drivers for R&D globalization (5/6) TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY HUNTERS > Technology orientation is important to access know-how in global hot spots > Market orientation is particularly important for development, e.g. for clinical studies, patient availability and bridging studies > Know-how is spread globally, while only a few markets (Western Europe, USA, Japan) are really important > Technology outweighs market orientation MARKET Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 27
28 ENGINEERED PRODUCTS In engineered products, some companies focus on central R&D, while others globalize for better market access Industry-specific drivers for R&D globalization (6/6) TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNISTIC PLAYERS/ GLOBAL MARKETERS > Two trends can be distinguished Companies focus on a central R&D network, e.g. export-oriented machinery producers in Germany Companies globalize R&D for better market access, e.g. to provide local application support or local design > Technology access does not play a vital role as it is readily available in existing locations MARKET Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 28
29 D. Organizational models Company clusters show distinct patterns of globalizing R&D Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 29
30 For each R&D globalization cluster, a typical organizational model has been identified Organizational models for globalizing R&D TECHNOLOGY HUNTERS Coordination OPPORTUNISTIC PLAYERS > R&D concentrated in global centers of excellence > R&D locations focused on individual research areas > Research efforts centrally coordinated > R&D mainly in central locations in home countries > International locations managed independently > Globalization efforts focused on specific product/production support GLOBALIZATION LEADERS GLOBAL MARKETERS > Network of central research and local development > Strong coordination among central and local units > Significant development/ customization for local markets > Basic innovation and leverage of scale effects in global research centers > Development of concrete products in local development centers > Focal point of R&D in local development centers Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 30

64 Six common success factors were identified for developing a global R&D network 1 Start from corporate and R&D strategy Determine first whether it is technology, market know-how, or opportunistic cost reduction that drives global R&D 2 Concentrate technological know-how as much as possible Leveraging the available know-how is most effective if it can be bundled in one place 3 Develop market know-how in decentralized units Local knowledge requires autonomy, central influence should be limited to monitoring and general guidelines 4 Be pragmatic in applying R&D management methods Standard tools are required for any global R&D Advanced methods need to be tailored to their specific purpose to be effective 5 Manage historical growth Do not let R&D structures develop without a clear strategy and direction, but instead actively manage the development 6 Implement organizational changes carefully Manage change and transition processes to avoid a loss of key personnel and know-how Study Globalization of R&D_Long Version 64
