Not too wise.

Google for "787 Dreamliner outsourcing". It was costly experience for Boeing.

WSJ article seems to be talking about offshore R&D work, not necessarily outsourced R&D work. 787 Dreamliner problems seems to be due to outsourcing to contractors and subcontractors (combined with offshoring): http://articles.latimes.com/2011/feb/15/business/la-fi-hiltz...

I wonder what percentage of the companies surveyed plan to employ R&D employees directly. Were Boeing's problems due to offshoring or outsourcing?

See my comment above. You're confusing outsourcing, offshoring, and offshore outsourcing.
