Op-Ed
Wall Street Journal
Ford Motor Company recently announced it will sell its Jaguar and Land Rover divisions to India's Tata Group.

Other Report
This report states that the ultimate effect of this R & D globalization on the U.S. economy and U.S. industry remains uncertain. But extrapolating from three important trends in the international economy--namely the rise of newly industrializing economies; the restructuring of the American system of innovation; and the globalization of sales and production--it seems likely that knowledge-intensive activities, from basic research to technology-based production, are not permanently anchored in American soil.
