Abstract
This paper attempts to answer the following two
questions: 1)
what are the main challenges related to networked R&D
operations, and 2)
what kinds of management models for networked R&D are
being applied? The
research is based on a literature study, an action
research project in the field
of innovation management, and seven interviews carried
out in November-
December 2003 with representatives of Finnish industry in
the areas of
development and strategy. The results of the study
depicted in the paper can
be summarised as follows: First, the paper serves as a
creation of preunderstanding
of network theory in the context of networked R&D
management. Second, the main challenges and benefits
related to networked
R&D are described. Third, a model of success elements of
R&D networking
are illustrated based on empirical data from the
interviews combined with a
theoretical discussion of managing R&D in networks.
