| Abstract: | Technological innovation is becoming increasingly important for survival in dynamic markets. But managerial attempts to improve research and development efficiency through bureaucratic direction have often failed because they ignore the fact that the innovation process is fundamentally different from the manufacturing process. Invention rates are found to be more proportional to R&D input if organization design is organic-professional rather than mechanistic-bureaucratic in a diverse sample of 110 United State factories. |
