Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the new and unique role governments can play beyond funding in facilitating collaborative R&D. The author argues that governments are well-equipped to alleviate concerns around opportunistic behavior, a major barrier to the formation of effective collaborative R&D projects. The author examines mechanisms such as defining the legal framework for cooperation, membership in the project governance body, and providing administrative support to discourage such behavior. Analyzing the Italian Societa di Ricerca program, the author finds that not only can governments help control opportunistic behavior, but firms recognize and value this role. Overall, firms participating in this program valued government assistance in establishing long-term relationships and facilitating networking as much as funding. The author concludes that governments can play a significant role in reducing transaction costs, encouraging collaboration, and ultimately fostering innovation and economic growth.
