This book by the author analyzes the interconnectedness between transfer of technology, organizational structure, and performance within R&D departments. Through numerous case studies the author demonstrates how internal professional networks and gatekeepers, or individuals who maintain contact between different departments, improve performance. The author uses examples from both consulting firms and established companies across various industries to highlight the importance of gatekeepers and professional networks and argues that the performance of R&D departments is strongly influenced by the social structure of the organization, as well as the ability of individuals to bridge gaps between departments. The insights in this book provide a unique perspective on the factors that affect the efficiency of R&D organizations, making it a valuable resource for professionals, managers, and researchers in the field.
