Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines factors that influence a research and development project's success or failure. Focusing on 37 large projects funded by government agencies, the author analyzes the team structures to establish the best environment for success. The book describes the traditional functional organization of industrial work as well as project organization, including a matrix combination of the two. It explores each type's distinct reporting relationships and physical proximity of personnel to supervisors in detail and discusses the pros and cons of each format. The author finds that matrix organization, where individuals report to the project manager for day-to-day tasks but to a functional manager on matters of advancement and performance evaluation, results in greater perceived authority for project managers, which positively affects project success. This book provides valuable insights for optimizing organizational structures and management practices to enhance research and development outcomes.
