In the era of economic and technological globalization, Multinational Corporations (MNCs) play an important role. Through the restructuring of the global technology and human resources, MNCs continue to lower development costs and risks, and acquire sustainable technical and competitive advantage. However, during this process, whether the innovation investment of MNCs does have significant effect on the output or not? How remarkable this role is? Are there any differences of the role in the different technology level industry companies? And whether the innovation input and output of MNCs have reached the optimal status? All these issues are worthy of studying. Although the Endogenous Growth Theory scholars have extensively validated the impact of innovation inputs and outputs on technological progress and economic growth, and have already compared the differences based on the country development level and the industry technological level, there still lacks the distinguish based on the company development level and company technological level. As the global resources are on the trend of increasingly scarce, it continues and will become more and more attractive to do a special analysis of this particular group of MNCs.Based on the Economic Growth Theory and Technological Innovation Theory, this article in particular chooses MNCs as the sample to study the role of R & D investment and R & D spillovers on output and the distinction of this role at different technology level industries. Also introduced the DEA model of Operations Research to test and compare the relative effectiveness of R & D investment and output of different companies, in order to provide certain information for China to develop our own Multinational Corporations with the ability of independent innovation.
