This is especially true in today's global software industry, which is characterized by ever-shorter product cycles, intense global competition and knowledge-intense research and development (R\u0026amp;D). The effective organization and management of a corporate R\u0026amp;D function in a software enterprise has thus become a key success factor for sustainable competitive advantages. This doctoral dissertation submitted to the City University of Hong Kong, designs, implements and evaluates an organizational transformation and its supporting framework for a globally dispersed R\u0026amp;D organization in the software industry as part of a two-year longitudinal case study at SAP, one of world's largest software companies. Based on the action design research methodology, this cross-disciplinary participatory case study, which draws from the areas of strategic management, global R\u0026amp;D management, organizational theory and organizational change management, to take a systematic approach to investigate this phenomenon and obtain a normative model of global R\u0026amp;D organizational enhancements. The book is therefore aimed at both academics and managers of global R\u0026amp;D organizations, who intend to obtain a comprehensive understanding of globally dispersed R\u0026amp;D and methods to improve organizational efficiency of global R\u0026amp;D.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45507741155479,"sku":"9781480121997","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781480121997.webp?v=1767458868","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/creating-dynamic-capabilities-r-d-network-management-for-globally-distributed-research-and-development-in-the-software-industry-9781480121997","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
