Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many companies are making foreign direct investments to be part of communities of learning, which are often contained in specific geographic regions. Communities of learning are generally located near large, high-quality universities and have workforces who hold advanced degrees such as master's and doctorates. For example, AstraZeneca, a Swiss-based pharmaceutical company, relocated its research facility to Cambridge, Massachusetts. This enabled AstraZenica to be part of the Boston biotech cluster, in hopes of developing new R&D competencies in biotechnology. Cisco invested more than $1.6 billion to create Asian headquarters in Bangalore and support other locations in India, in order to be in the middle of India's top Information Technology (IT) location.
