The Relation of Internal Communication to R& D (Classic Reprint): Project Performance as a Function of the Nature of the Project: Project Performance ... the Nature of the Project (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
This book uncovers a pattern between a research and development (R&D) project's performance and its internal communication. The author delves into how the nature of a project's objectives, such as research, development, or technical service, influences its communication needs. Through a detailed study of a laboratory, the author reveals that projects focused on developing new products and processes rely heavily on internal communication for success. In contrast, projects engaged in research and technical service exhibit different communication patterns. The book highlights the critical role of technical managers in facilitating effective communication, emphasizing that their involvement varies depending on the project's nature. By exploring the relationship between communication and performance across different R&D functions, this book offers valuable insights for managers seeking to optimize project outcomes and drive innovation within their organizations.

Excerpt from The Relation of Internal Communication to R& D: Project Performance as a Function of the Nature of the Project
A survey methodology was used to sample all work related communications over a period of fifteen weeks. Data were collected via questionnaires which were distributed on randomly selected days. The sampling days were chosen so that there would be an equal number of each of the different weekdays in the sample.

Excerpt from The Relation of Internal Communication to R& D: Project Performance as a Function of the Nature of the Project
Numerous research studies have shown the importance of communication in Rd organizations. The evidence strongly suggests that internal communication is positively related to R&D project performance (Allen, 1964; 1977;Baker et al, 1967; Goldhar, et al, 1976), all supporting the proposition that the best source of information for an R&D engineer is a colleague within his own organization. Good internal communication, therefore, assumes a paramount importance for the management of an R&D organization.
Other studies (Allen, et al, 1977; Dewhirst, et al, 1978; Hagstrom, 1965)have shown the relation between project performance and communication outside of the laboratory to be a function of whether the project involves research, development or technical service activities. In fact, the relation shifts from a positive to a negative one, depending on the nature of the project. While a strong, positive relationship between performance and external communication was found for research scientists and engineers, the relationship between performance and direct external contacts was negative for engineers who worked on product or process development projects. For these technology-oriented engineers, information was imported into the organization via a two-step process through a small number of specific individuals; i.e. the technological 'gatekeeper' phenomenon as identified by Allen and Cohen (1969).
Given these results, it is logical to inquire further how the nature of a projects task might affect the relative importance of internal communication. Along the spectrum of Rd activities in technology, different R&D functions have very different job requirements. Research tasks are aimed at a generation of new knowledge, whereas development tasks have as their objective the physical output of new products or processes, while technical service tasks meet very specific local needs of the organization (e.g., cost/performance improvements in existing products or operations).
