| Abstract: | To maintain competitiveness with Japan and Europe, Congress of the USA passed the National Cooperative Research Act in 1984. It legalized the research and development consortium, an organization in which competing members of the same industry work together on precompetitive research. That some consortia have existed for more than five years suggests that managers are achieving some level of success. The consortia studied in a recent research are just beginning to license products and apply for patents. From the initial observations, however, a number of conclusions could be drawn. The success seems to be dependent on the number of participants, the boundary operations, the conflict management, the goal setting and other management issues. |
