Summary/Abstract: Object of study is the globalization of the R&D in the transnational corporations (TNC). It is underlined that the large transnational corporations are the main centers for technical innovations and the private sector is a main column of the national innovation systems of the countries with developed market economy. Followed is the evolution from the centralized by its essence egocentric and geocentric model of organization of R&D in TNC to the decentralized polycentric and integrated network models. Special attention is drawn to the “direct foreign investment” or exporting abroad scientific research divisions of TNC. The main centers for study and development, build by TNC abroad, are concentrated in the three centers of industrial development – USA, Western Europe and Asia Pacific. TNC prefer to conduct their fundamental studies in their own countries and the ones from the triad, in the other developed industrial countries they position centers for applied studies and research and in the developing countries – developing. In conclusion it states that the triadisation is the form, in which the globalization of R&D in TNC is carried out at this stage.
