Global R&D Model Of Microsoft
Many global research firms have large R&D laboratories in India, covering areas such as information technology, energy, life sciences, and agriculture. In a way, India provides a place to experiment and then export the results to other countries, both developing and developed. Here are some interesting points about Microsoft Research India, posted at the Harvard Business Review blog.
It is interesting to see that Microsoft has adapted to the emerging market culture and is working hard to bring in a diverse group of scholars and researchers. Looking at the research and achievements of companies like Nokia, Apple, Samsung and HP, Microsoft has a long way to prove their strength in original research. The approach is include social scientists and economists in your teams as well. This is a worthwhile approach and we need to adopt this broad thinking within our research initiatives in Pakistan as well.
We were expecting this lab to look like other multinationals’ Indian R&D outfits, i.e., staffed with hundreds of engineers and scientists. But we were in for a big surprise.
