Abstract
Strengthening intellectual property rights for publicly
financed research and development (R&D) ensures that research
organizations maximize the full national value of the intellectual
property that they generate, but potential negative spillover effects
on the perceived value of a research alliance might deter an existing
alliance partner from continued collaboration or a potential alliance
partner from future collaboration. This study, performed in 2010
within the context of the Council for Scientific and Industrial
Research in South Africa, aimed to develop a structural equation
modeling-based value-mediation governance decision-making
model that will enable engineering managers at publicly financed
R&D organizations to select optimal governance modes for the
research alliances they are establishing to grow their organizations’
R&D capabilities.
