Dear post manager, please could you kindly share this with AIB community with another PhD studentship? Many thanks again! Jun PhD Studentship (3 years): Firm internationalisation and R&D strategy in the evolving global value chains The PhD research will build on the work Centre for Business Prosperity has done in recent years to examine firm’s global strategy of investment and R&D collaboration in the fast-evolving global value chains and the twin-transition mission. The study will take perspectives of firms, industries, regions and nations, both aiming at furthering our understanding on existing trends but also identifying future opportunities for growth. Projects will be jointly designed with the successful candidates, taking on board the broad contexts – likely movement of capitals globally due to the US’ Inflation Reduction Act and EU’s Green Deal Industrial Plan, UK’s EU exit and new geopolitical environment. The successful applicant will work with Professor Jun Du, Dr Agelos Delis and Dr Dalila Ribaudo on interdisciplinary research in the following areas: * Firm internationalisation strategy * Global value chains development. * Sustainability and net zero transition * Internationalisation of technology development The research will draw on COMTRADE product level data, Orbis IP database, ONS/HMRC Trade in Goods and International Trade in Services Database, as well ONS enterprise level data.
