“…This implies that what constitutes effective leadership may vary at different stages (Buijs, 2007;Robledo et al, 2012). Thus, PIs likely need to be highly adaptive as they manage different projects and teams, particularly as they engage different individuals, from staff to students, post-docs, peers, and superiors (Bonetta, 2006;Chi, 2010;Cohen & Cohen, 2012). Models of leadership emphasizing pragmatic forms of leadership-using technical expertise and problem-solving strategies as means to enhance individual and group capacity to perform work effectively-may also be particularly appropriate in the scientific context (M. D. Mumford et al, 2003;M.…”

Principal investigators are responsible for a myriad of leadership and management activities in their work. The practices they employ to navigate these responsibilities ultimately influence the quality and integrity of research. However, leadership and management roles in research have received scant empirical examination. Semi-structured interviews with 32 National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded genetic researchers revealed that they considered leadership and management essential for effective research, but their scientific training inadequately prepared them. We also report management practices that the researchers described employing in their labs, as well as their perceptions of a proposed intervention to enhance laboratory leadership. These findings suggest best practices for the research community, future directions for scientific training, and implications for research on leadership and management in science.

“…Another issue affecting the selection of R&D project management concept is organisation culture, openness to changes, or management team leader personality. In R&D projects, these factors are different than in other types of project, which was confirmed, inter alia, by Rae Chi (2010) and Ernø-Kjølhede (2000), which may result in the situation where an adequate management concept is not selected for an R&D project because it is, for example, definitely rejected by a leader or a project team. That is why 'soft' factors often affect the results achieved in a research project, as Aronson et al (2008) and Aronson and Lechler (2009) claim.…”

Currently, the dispersion and variety of both research and development (R&D) project management methods and their taxonomies pose difficulties in the selection of a management concept suitable for a particular type of R&D project. The paper attempts to assign a specified management concept to a given R&D project type. An in‐depth analysis of the literature was done, and dispersed information on the R&D project management were systemised and linked. More detailed classifications of R&D projects and agile project management (APM) methods were proposed. The paper as a result presents a new typology of R&D projects and a proposal of assignment of project management methods to individual types of R&D projects. Moreover, a case study of an R&D project is presented with outlining the major problems concerning its implementation, resulting, inter alia, from the selection of an inappropriate management concept made at the stage of project planning and application for funding. The authors also carried out an empirical research aimed at the confirmation of conclusions drawn from the relevant literature and the investigated case study. The main result of the paper is the assignment of different project management concepts to certain R&D project types as well as the distinction of two types of APM concepts. The final conclusion of the article is that most types of R&D projects, identified using the criterion of the degree of knowledge of their goals and methods of their implementation, should be managed by a customised concept of APM. It is, however, essential that one matches different types of Agile methods with different types of R&D project.
