“…A few relevant findings from laboratory-focused studies have been reported (Bozeman 1994, Bozeman and Coker 1992, Brown et al 1987, O'Keefe 1982; private firm perspectives on interactions with the federal labs are conspicuously absent. A key exception is Bean (1990, 1991).…”

“…Evaluation studies have mimicked the retrospective case study designs used to develop theory. For example, a recent case study conducted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory uses a form of retrospective analysis charting the Department of Energy's contribution to the development of several building innovations (Brown, Berry & Goel, 1991).…”

“…In some instances this emphasis has been codified in the legislation authorizing funds for an agency (Logsdon & Rubin, 1985). Recently, efforts have been made to adopt ROI and diffusion criteria (found in Quadrant Il) to publicly supported R&D projects (Brown, Berry, & Goel, 1991;Brown, Wilson, & Franchuk, 1991).…”

Evaluating R&D Impacts: Methods and Practice

The use of case study methods in evaluating R&D impacts poses a paradox. On the one hand, most of the major methodological advances in R&D evaluation are attributed to the areas ofpeer review, interview and questionnaire techniques, and quantitative methods such as econometrics, bibliometrics, and technology indicators, while case study is characterized as an old technique that has had no recent developments (Luukkonen-Gronow, 1987). On the other hand, many R&D impact evaluations qualify as case study research designs. The reason they may be considered so is that the design of most R&D impact evaluations focus on understanding the dynamics within a specific setting and do not relate findings to any scientific theory. Though case study can be used to relate events to theory (Eisenhardt, 1989; Yin, 1989), it is difficult to generalize from the findings from one setting (Cook & Campbell, 1979). This makes it difficult to identify and differentiate the use of case study separate from the other methods listed above.One resolution of this paradox is to recognize that in the realm of R&D impact evaluations, case study has developed a particular methodological form.

“…In some cases, an exclusive license is a necessary condition for attracting some kinds of companies, while nonexclusive licensing may be more appropriate when the potential market for an invention is large enough" to encompass many firms engaged in different applications of a technology. (46) Finally, there may be occupational health and safety problems associated with the development or manufacture of high-temperature superconductors that will serve as potential barriers to commercialization. While industrial interchange may overcome these barriers, it is also clear that some problems may not as yet be fully appreciated.…”
