Abstract

The present study undertakes a comparative analysis of a government R&D team and an in-house R&D team of a listed company and analyzes how and why a public-sector R&D team failed where a comparable private-sector R&D team succeeded. The findings speak to the influence of sector/environmental context on the behavior of R&D project groups. The public R&D organization, to which the government R&D team belonged, was different from the private company on the dimensions of ownership, funding, and nature of the R&D product. These differences influenced the relative success of the private R&D team through differential processes for project selection and the recruitment of R&D personnel.
