| Tiivistelmä: | A comparative study of six in-house and eight independent industrial organizations is reported. These organizations are analyzed in terms of three types of control strategy - market control, hierarchical control and professional control. It is suggested that the professional control strategy, emergent after World War Two, is now being increasingly challenged by market control strategies. R&D organizations under or adopting market control are shown to enjoy marked productivity advantages. The distinctive managerial practices of market controlled R&D are analyzed. It is concluded that many in-house laboratories have much to gain by partial adoption of these market control practices. |
