| Tiivistelmä: | This paper uses a 'knowledge-based' approach to compare the management of R&D in two leading chemicals companies, one British (ICI pic) and one Japanese. It describes key differences in the ways they integrate the 'near-market' knowledge of business units and the scientific knowledge and technical expertise of R&D personnel in central R&D facilities. It shows that the same management practices that underpin superior 'integrative capabilities' in the Japanese firm, including central funding of R&D, job-rotation and career structures and multidisciplinary project teams, also result in significant R&D weaknesses. |
