摘要:

AbstractThe research scientist, the planner, and the R&D manager require a methodology that can compose a wide range of technological options within a realistic production system context and subject these options to a comprehensive, multi‐parameter economic analysis. A technologically‐oriented approach to the generation and ex‐ante assessment of technologies is developed for this purpose in an agricultural R&D context. The approach is based on morphological analysis, in which a production process is defined as a series of tasks each of which can be accomplished by one or more alternative techniques. The model is customized for any specific production system using information provided by technology experts. This information is received in the language of the technologist, structured in a way that promotes an holistic view of the system, and processed to answer the needs of the economic evaluator. The model has been well received by technologists in the analysis of about a dozen diverse R&D pro

摘要:

AbstractThis study argues that inventive (R&D) efficiency may be an important factor in the competition for global market shares and goods and services. The authors compare R&D efficiency for 14 industrial groups in the United States and Japan using multiple indices of inventive efficiency. Findings show interesting differences in inventive efficiency across industrial groups and between the United States and Japan. United States food, textile, chemical, rubber, metals, fabricated metals, and other miscellaneous manufacturing industries appear to be relatively more efficient in inventive efficiency than their Japanese counterparts. In contrast, Japanese paper, petroleum, machinery, and scientific equipment industries display greater inventive efficiency than their United States counterparts. The electrical equipment, transportation, and stone industries in the two countries appear to be equally efficient. The implications of these differences are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractA case‐study of the R&D networking activities of Glaxo Group Research was carried out between June and November 1993. Different types of networking situation were identified using a simple 2times2 matrix –‐ the ‘networking uncertainty map’. This paper describes the background to Glaxo's R&D networking activities, introduces and illustrates the uncertainty map and then suggests the implications of each type of network. There are implications in general for R&D management and more specifically for the management of human resources in R&D. Managers might easily apply the uncertainty map to their own R&D networking s

摘要:

AbstractFirms that are able more quickly than others to add value through product development will be the winners in technology‐based industries. This paper examines value‐added progress by contrasting four agricultural biotechnology firms that have managed to create value with one that failed to do so. Lessons were induced for new firms struggling to develop products in emerging industries such as biotechnology. The following findings emerged from manager interviews and secondary data.In contrast to the ‘progressive’ firms, the failed firm neglected to develop a clear product‐market focus, complementary skills outside its core technology, and relationships with universities and government. These contrasts seemed to stem from differences in the financing arrangements and the level of organizational politics. The failed firm received a generous one‐time funding and had a relatively high level of politics, whereas the funding of the progressive companies was tied to performance milestones and little politicking took place. The reasons for organizational politics ar

摘要:

AbstractThis paper presents a model that seeks to understand and explain R&D performance differences in research‐intensive companies. The primary theoretical model builds on the well‐established theory of science as a public good but augments it with a game‐theoretic argument for individual firm choices of scientific information openness or secrecy. The first research question we address is how a firm's scientific information openness, as measured by its research publications, impacts the firm's stock of technical knowledge. Additionally, we explore two predictor variables of scientific information openness: research lab and top management team demographics. The possible economic effects and other managerial implications of this model are also disc

摘要:

This R&D Management Conference will be held on the campus of the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. The university is located in the picturesque countryside of Holland near the German border. The theme of the conference emphasizes the various links between R&D and quality. There is evidence that the quality of the R&D process has a significant impact on the quality, costs, timeliness and flexibility of other business processes, and products. Furthermore, Total Quality strategies and instruments could be useful in the management and organization of the R&D function. This conference is intended to act as a forum for academics and managers to exchange ideas and to develop new theories and techniques in this area.
