    Notes: Matrix organization is increasingly being written about in terms which suggest that it is almost axiomatic that it is the best way of structuring an R & D lab. In this paper we wish to introduce a note of scepticism into the discussion, for the following reasons. Firstly, we suspect that not everyone has the same thing in mind when discussing matrix organizations. Secondly, we believe that there are many circumstances under which it clearly is not the best way of organizing, although there are plenty under which it is. Thirdly, we have seen in use many variants of the structure, suggesting to us that while there is an underlying, unifying concept at work, it needs to be much modified in most cases before it can successfully be applied. Finally, any reorganizing is a hazardous business, and a change to matrix involves particular difficulties of its own which need highlighting.

    The analysis of technological activity using abstracting services (1976)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    R & D management 7 (1976), S. 0

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Many organizations are at the present time faced with two problems. First, what are the events that are likely to have important implications for their activities in future time periods? Second, what new areas should they consider entering and how can they make quick appraisal of the potential in such areas? There are no easy answers to either of these questions but a number of methods have been proposed which have been found to be of assistance. This paper outlines an approach based on the use of abstracting services which can provide useful information quickly and inexpensively.

    The use of ranking formulae in R & D projects (1972)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    R & D management 2 (1972), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-9310

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract. Numerous ranking formulae have been proposed in the literature for use in the evaluation and selection of R& D projects, but their rate of adoption has been relatively slow. This situation appears to be changing in the U.K. and a considerable amount of effort is being expended to improve the methods of obtaining estimates for the variables which appear in the formulae. This paper argues that the most commonly quoted formulae do not adequately represent the practical situation and are likely to introduce bias into the system as well as tending to make estimating more difficult. A modified ranking index derived from a decision tree type of analysis is suggested as a more useful estimate of the worth of a project, but it is concluded that any such formulae will always have serious limitations because they must inevitably ignore important characteristics of the research process.

    The commerciaIization of stagnant technologies (1989)

    R & D management 19 (1989), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-9310
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: AbstractThis paper focusses on technologies which have failed to reach the marketplace for reasons which are connected more with the organization in which they were developed than with the technology itself. They are referred to as stagnant technologies.Such technologies can clearly be exploited via joint ventures; however there can be problems of finding a suitable partner and managing the partnership when one has been found. To overcome such problems a role for a third party is suggested which has been called the catalyst firm. Such a firm can be involved in identifying stagnant technologies, locating a suitable partner, and assisting in the management of the partnership through to commercialization.This approach is central to the activities of Aprotec, a Manchester-based company specializing in the development and commercialization of new technologies, which plays the role of the catalyst firm. Experience to date is described in the paper, and a case study is used to show how the approach has been successfully applied in practice.

    The development of networks between engineering contractors and their clients: the special case of partnering (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    R & D management 26 (1996), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper sets out to show how partnering arrangements between engineering contractors in process plant contracting and their process industry clients have led to increasing collaborative contributions at the ‘front end’ of capital asset formation. Partnering arrangements are seen here as formalised long-term contracts between process plant contractors and their clients, intended to apply to engineering and other services in major capital projects over a number of years.While research does not appear to have been affected to a significant extent, partners seem to be interacting increasingly on process development and design. One outcome of partnering is to increase the contractors' involvement in their clients' overall business objectives. As a result of this change in the character of their services, contractors are more inclined to seek opportunities to improve plant efficiency, rather than following given specifications. This interaction of entities with a different focus and, to some extent, different skills is a potential source of innovation which to date has not been realised to any great extent.

    Application of option pricing theory to R&D (1994)

    ISSN: 1467-9310

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: AbstractMuch attention has been paid in the literature to methods for the evaluation and selection of R&D projects. The evidence is that these are less extensively used than might be expected. More recently, an approach based on Option Pricing Theory has been suggested as one which is likely to be of considerable value to management. In this paper the method is described, the information which is required is identified and the way in which it might be applied in practice is discussed.
