E. Raymond Corey examines six of the oldest, largest, and most visible R&D consortia in America. Three serve the semiconductor and computer industries, where interfirm and international rivalries are intense; three draw their membership from regulated industries only recently subject to competition. Corey's comparative study sheds light on the dynamics of consortium management, exploring such issues as mission, organizational structure, strategic planning, technology transfer, and leadership. In addition to analyzing consortia as a distinct organizational form, Corey considers the social, economic, and legal impact of consortia as sources of global competitiveness.

3.0 out of 5 stars
fills a gap, offers ideas, but little practical advice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Technology Fountainheads: The Management Challenge of R&d Consortia (Hardcover)
This is one of the few (maybe the only) book that deals specifically with the management of R&D consortia. The consortia studied in this book are American consortia which comprise a large number of members and whose duration is not limited. So its findings do not really apply to the short-term consortia that are nowadays used for achieving one particular goal. The book establishes a typology of R&D consortia and tries to explain their role in a theory of collective action. The chapters deal with vision, mission and leadership, R&D planning, Consortium Strategy, Consortia in Europe and Japan, and the future of R&D consortia. While the book is not particularly helpful for day-to-day consortium management, it offers some interesting conceptual ideas, but no groundbreaking insights.
