The Honeywell Technology Center (HTC) is the central R & D organization for Honeywell, Inc. almost 40% of Honeywell sales come from outside the U.S. and this figure is expected to reach 45% or more by 2000. However, HTC, based in Minneapolis, is a long distance from international markets. Within HTC there is a growing consensus that HTC has to become more international to support Honeywell's growth opportunities.

This case explores the issues associated with international R & D, technology transfer, and the trade-offs necessary to implement a global technology strategy
