    Types and Timing of Inter,organizational Communication in New Product Development

    CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT, Issue 4 2001
    Marjan Hummel
    Managing the communication between the participants involved in inter,organizational product development is complex. The traditional models of new product development are not sufficient to gain insight in effective management practices in this respect. Our study explored the inter,organizational communication in a research and development project. Our results confirm Gersick's model that looks upon new product development as being punctuated by periods of rapid change. In these periods, including the start,up, explorative prototype stage, and completion of the project, inter,organizational communication is essential about design objectives and project planning, contextual factors and the required resources, skills and knowledge.

    ,Playing the Game called Writing': Children's Views and Voices

    ENGLISH IN EDUCATION, Issue 2 2003
    Teresa Grainger
    Abstract Teachers' perceptions of their changing practice in the context of the National Literacy Strategy have been well documented in recent years. However, few studies have collected pupils' views or voices. As part of a collaborative research and development project into the teaching and learning of writing, 390 primary pupils' views were collected. A marked difference in attitude to writing and self-esteem as writers was found between Key Stages 1 and 2, as well as a degree of indifference and disengagement from in-school writing for some KS2 writers. A strong desire for choice and greater autonomy as writers was expressed and a preference for narrative emerged. This part of the research project ,We're Writers' has underlined the importance of listening to pupils' views about literacy, in order to create a more open dialogue about language and learning, and to negotiate the content of the curriculum in response to their perspectives.

    Breaking barriers,provision and participation in an out-of-school centre

    CHILDREN & SOCIETY, Issue 2 2001
    Berry Mayall
    This paper uses a research and development project , the A Space project in Hackney , as an exemplar for discussion of policy and practice issues arising from the recent expansion of out-of-school child care and study support services. In particular, the authors explore children's participation rights and multi-agency working, two key principles upon which A Space is based. The paper suggests that current government out-of-school policy raises key questions about the siting, staffing, coordination and costs of future services; and that underlying these are more fundamental questions about: how children should be spending their time; and whose perspectives on this should be taken into account.

    Trust, coordination and knowledge flows in R&D projects: the case of fuel cell technologies

    BUSINESS ETHICS: A EUROPEAN REVIEW, Issue 1 2008
    Stian Nygaard
    This paper explores influential factors for research and development project success as a result of knowledge flows rising from a trust-based mechanism within and outside the project. Project success is herein defined in terms of results obtained and partner commitment. A sample of 85 organizations involved in 17 European research and development projects under the fifth Framework Programme focused on fuel cell technology projects is used to test the hypotheses. Results provide several insights. First, organizations should take care of trust as the mechanism supporting internal knowledge flows arising from projects in which they are directly involved; second, external R&D ties arise from a kind of interlocking partner mechanism, but the latter does not contribute to the focal project success.
