R and D consortium technology transfer: A study of shareholder technology strategy and organizational learning
A multiple case-study design with replication logic was used to explore the organizational learning, technology strategy-making and technology-transfer processes in and among six shareholders and the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC). Propositions formulated suggest that developing strategy for the consortium that complements the shareholders' technology strategy and transferring technology are complex, interactive learning processes. Interpretation is the key learning task. Shareholder representatives who participate in the strategy-formulation process at the consortium have to interpret the needs of a variety of people at all levels of the organization, from diverse backgrounds and functional specialties. Participation in the strategy formulation process requires shareholder representatives to interpret the evolution of the technologies under development in light of their organizations' business strategies. Additionally, they have to interpret the organizational context at the consortium.
