Studies of knowledge management in R&D organizations have largely focused on performance measurement (i.e. diagnostic control). This specific focus comes at the expense of a broader conception of management control systems and their relation to organizational goals and capabilities. Building on Simons' 'levers of control' framework, we explore how beliefs, boundary, diagnostic and interactive...
Under the knowledge economic environment, the competitiveness of enterprises is mainly an innovative competition, particularly in high-tech enterprise. Company actively engaged in R & D activities, leading to rapid increase in R & D expenditures. In 2007, the new accounting standards stipulated that corporate spending on independent research and development activities can conditionally capitalized,...
In order to secure future growth, any R&D and technology-driven company has to manage its internal knowledge effectively. When companies grow the need for a Knowledge Management System (KMS) increases. It is widely recognized that one of the major challenges when implementing a KMS is how to create a culture that support the use of the system. Most companies struggle to make these cultural changes,...
In this paper we claim that the phenomenon of R&D internationalization of Chinese firms is an emerging and varied phenomenon. We establish a four-pattern learning model in a double-knowledge-network organization, and propose that both different modes (experiential and cooperative) and different goals (explorative and exploitative) coexist in Chinese R&D internationalization. The evolution...
At the era of knowledge economy, knowledge management is attached more and more importance to our country in all circles. Only after fully understanding the importance of knowledge management and successfully implementing knowledge management can organizations maintain the continuous developmental vitality in the fierce competitive environment. Successful implementing of knowledge management is based...
Strategic decision-making bodies and systems are supposed to provide strategic guidance to an enterprise. Although theorists have recognized the strategic importance of organizational learning as a means of providing a sustainable competitive advantage, case studies from the perspective of strategic renewal have been few. The present study looks into the issue of strategic renewal of laboratories...
Based on the managerial realities, practices and problems of firms in the bio-industry, the objective of this research project is to develop a knowledge sharing platform for a consortium of partners involved in research activities in the sector. The electronic knowledge sharing platform serves not only in the production of analyses and pre-emptive studies to accompany firms and bodies within the bio-industry...
The number of enterprises implementing knowledge management (KM) has grown dramatically in recent years. However, few companies could achieve their target and successfully implement KM, especially in Taiwan. There are several factors that need to be considered while developing or implementing knowledge sharing system. This paper is intended to specify factors which effect knowledge sharing as perceived...
The purpose of the study is an attempt to find out and examine the factors affecting the effectiveness of interorganizations knowledge transfer in the process of collaborative R&D in mechanism manufacturing and IT industries in China. On the basis of literature research and interviews with collaborative R&D organizations, a knowledge transfer influencing factors theoretical framework is proposed...
Trust has been an important deterrent to opportunistic behavior between organizations and a substitute for hierarchical governance with market and efficiency implications (Larsson, 1998). The focus of this study is to discuss the trust relationship in the R&D alliances. In order to explore this theme, this study employed the case study methodology. The data collection methods include the deep...
This paper investigates the influence of R&D inputs on the innovation efficiency of Chinese high-tech industry from two aspects, including product-related innovation and knowledge-related innovation. We also test whether or not the Schumpeterian hypothesis can be applied to the innovation performance of Chinese high-tech industry when considering the interactive effects among firm size, ownership...
Within any company that conducts significant Research and Development (R&D) to support its business operations, a significant amount of knowledge and intellectual property (IP) is also generated. The purpose of R&D within such organisations is typically to create new knowledge, products and services which can be commercialised by the business to gain competitive advantage. While most of the...
In order to gain and maintain support for the KM system we need to employ several categories of metrics that have been in existence for some time. These include operational and behavioral indicators of use, such as number of users, level of utilization of the system, number of knowledge "nuggets" found or transferred, and the satisfaction of users of knowledge management systems. However,...
This article aims to contribute to Knowledge Management Theory centering its analysis towards a Social Organization perspective. The Knowledge Management Model developed by Fraunhofer Institute was partially used as a reference for this work. The focus is specifically oriented to Human Resources, Leadership and Organizational Culture issues. For the research, a main problem was defined which asked...
As the firms become increasingly aware that in-house R&D facilities and resources are no longer capable of being the sole source of the research needs, the cooperation between universities and industries are very popular nearly all over the world. This paper focuses on knowledge transfer process in the context of university-industry cooperation. Through literature research and theoretical analysis,...
Continually extended scientific research needs more cooperation among different disciplines. An outstanding research team needs to develop a set of management models to support effective management. Knowledge management, as a completely new management model and management theory, has been successfully applied to knowledge organizations in enterprises and has formed a set of relatively perfect theoretical...
Do learning organizations have strokes of genius? An empirical study of 34 high technology R&D and manufacturing organizations suggests not. The roots of punctuated equilibrium in organizational learning can be traced to learning activities that occur within organizational subsystems, primarily during R&D. Continuous improvement at the subsystem level contributes significantly to a delayed,...
The main success driver of new product development, organizational culture, is considered another important focused research theme besides information technology. The current researchers focus the importance of the human supports of new product development. A proper organizational culture must be developed in order to succeed in new product development. The purpose of this research is to study the...
Public research and development labs in Mexico are few and they have been created only in the last four decades. Little experience is available regarding successful organizational models, as well as best structure and processes in their design. Currently, the need for a research center on genomics and biodiversity has become increasingly important, and its design and creation is in process. The design...
Research leadership is characterized as visionary while research management is sometimes viewed as being process oriented and administrative. Many studies have proposed that the twenty-first century will be the age of the knowledge-based economy, but how can the wide spectrum of today's economies all structure their knowledge generating sector to prosper? In general terms, research leadership is the...
