A Study on the Impacts of Indirect Organisations on Research Productivity

Abstract

Productivity of scientific researches has drawn attention from policy science, economics, management, philosophy of science, etc, and various models have been proposed with independent variables such as policy and institution, funds, scientists, research process, etc. On the other hand, it has been established that the organisational capabilities affects its performance in business management. Organisational capabilities of research institutions, however, has not been studied extensively. The study anallyses the interview notes with Directors/Associate Dens of Research at major research institutes, both in Japan and France, to build a model of the impact of indirect organisation.
