Recognition includes: praise; added responsibility and authority; professional recognition and work situation. Reward includes; wages; improved working conditions; professional development and benefits. Resentment occurs when unfairness is experienced.

Internationalizing R and D improves a firm's technical learning
Article Abstract:
Expenditure on the internationalisation of research and development (R and D) has increased despite evidence that it can lead to inefficient communication systems, less efficient home-based technological networks, proprietary information risks and poor management coordination. The main advantage of decentralisation of R and D is rapid access to more relevant information. Research based on 14 non-specific R and D companies showed that internationalisation led to access to markets, technologies and resources.

The establishment of action teams facilitates employee delegation. Employees can develop team methodology and resource sharing and improve communications.
