Abstract
The strong decentralization of R&D and the dispersion of centers-of-excellence in the 1980s and 1990s have led to increased transnational R&D processes. A central dilemma in the organization of dispersed projects is project efficiency versus the effective use of specialized knowledge in dispersed knowledge centers.
“Transnational R&D projects — key to competitiveness, impossible or mismanaged?”
