Abstract:
The subject of this paper is a comparative analysis of two Indian R&D teams with similar objectives and activities. The team which we first studied (team A) was located in a public-sector electrical power research institute. The second team (team B) was the R&D unit of a private-sector company which manufactures and sells electrical equipment such as motors, generators, and transformers. Using qualitative methodology, we developed a process model of the ineffectiveness of team A. This model served as an interpretive framework with which to study team B and compare it with team A
