Integration between research and development: A dynamic capabilities perspective
Main Article Content
Abstract
Integration between research (R) and development (D) activities when they are organized separately in companies as specific departments is crucial for innovation performance and for the firm’s adaptation and growth. Although this is of utmost importance, paradoxically, very few studies have focused on it. Considering this integration as a dynamic capability, through a systematic literature review on integration models and dynamic capabilities, we discuss distinctive views of the concept and the ways in which they can be applied. This study leads to the systematization of this knowledge field and to the identification of gaps in the literature on the integration between R and D. A research agenda is also proposed.
