Abstract
In 1992, Daizburo Shinoda, a senior R&D manager at NEC, has to deal with a succession issue regarding the leadership of NEC's R&D site in Princeton, N.J. In deciding whom to appoint as the next leader of NEC's most important R&D site abroad, Shinoda has to consider a number of factors: NEC's overall company strategy, the history of the Princeton site, and human resource constraints faced by NEC.
