Abstract: | The paper investigates the challenges associated with managing projects that are distributed across time, space and organizations through feature of innovation in numerous high-technology domains, including biomedicine. The ways in which managing the interdependencies across projects becomes crucial are explored. The analysis of nine biomedical innovation cases reveal a heavy reliance on 'blackbox' strategies, transferring knowledge between projects with very limited collaboration amongst the various projects involved. The low level of project interactivity appears to create problems for the innovation process, the reasons for which are examined in the study. |
