Collaborative capability in R&D alliances: exploring the link between organisational- and individual-level factors
TLDR
In this article, the role of collaborative capability in R&D alliances with a focus on the interplay between organisational- and individual-level mechanisms is examined, and a framework is proposed to explain the multi-dimensional nature of collaborative capabilities.Abstract:
Utilising the dynamic capabilities perspective, this study examines the role of collaborative capability in R&D alliances with a focus on the interplay between organisational- and individual-level mechanisms. Collaborative capability has predominantly been conceptualised and analysed from a firm- level perspective, whereas the individual-level mechanisms that enable this ability to develop and flourish have been neglected. We explore the development of Novozymes' 'Partnering Project' and show how individual-level factors, such as competence development, work in concert with organisational-level strategic and structural mechanisms in creating collaborative capability. Based on an in-depth case study and a review of the literature, we propose a framework to explain the multi-dimensional nature of collaborative capabilities in R&D alliances. Our study shows how firms may benefit from increased attention to the interaction between individual- and organisational-level issues, captured via a partnering mindset, when designing R&D alliances.read more

Dynamic capabilities and strategic management
TL;DR: The dynamic capabilities framework as mentioned in this paper analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change, and suggests that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technology change depends in large measure on honing intemal technological, organizational, and managerial processes inside the firm.
