چکیده

با وجود منافع زیاد پروژههای تحقیقوتوسعه مشترک گزارشهای زیادی از ناکامی و شکست آنها به ویژه در زمینه توسعه محصولات جدید وجود دارد با این حال تحقیقات اندکی به صورت جامع به چالشهای پیشروی این پروژهها توجه کردهاند و این تحقیقات همچنین کمتر به بررسی این موضوع از منظر یک شرکت فعال در یک کشور در حال توسعه که با مشکلات مختلفی همچون زیرساختها شبکهها و زنجیره تمین همکار ضعیفتری روبرو است پرداختهاند سال اصلی این مقاله در خصوص چالشهای کلیدی پروژههای تحقیقوتوسعه مشترکی است که با هدف توسعه یک محصول جدید شکل گرفتهاند برای پاسخگویی به سال از مطالعه موردی پروژه طراحی و تولید موتور ملی با مشارکت مرکز تحقیقات موتور ایرانخودرو و شرکت آلمان به روش کیفی استفاده شد چارچوب مفهومی مطالعه شامل چهار بخش توانمندیهای دانش و ظرفیت جذب رهبری و مدیریت پروژه تحقیقاتی مشترک ویژگیهای همکار و همچنین نقش نهادهای دولتی و میانجی بوده که بر اساس این چارچوب مورد مطالعه و چالشهای پیشآمده تحلیل و آموختههای مربوطه استخراج شد مهمترین یافتههای این پژوهش تکید بر لزوم تناسب میان سطح طراحی محصول و توانمندی دانشی سازمان بینش بالای علمی و عملی مدیر پروژه ضرورت همتکاملی در طراحی محصول و فرآیند و همچنین نقشآفرینی و تسهیلگری دولت در راستای موفقیت پروژههای تحقیقوتوسعه مشترک است

چکیده [English]

Despite the valuable achievements of joint RD projects most of them could not meet their goals in developing new products However there are a few comprehensive researches about the challenges of the Joint RD projects especially in developing countries which have different problems such as lack of welldesigned infrastructure the weakness of networks and lack of comprehensive supply chainThe main purpose of the research is the investigation of the challenges in joint RD projects which focus on developing new productsThe single case study is the research methodology in this research The case of the research is the Joint RD project for designing and producing the national Iranian automobile engine between the Iran Khodro Powertrain Company and FEV from GermanyFirstly a theoretical framework for investigating the selected case was developed Based on literature review and Explanatory interviews The four dimensions of the preliminary framework were Knowledge capability and absorptive capacity leadership and management of Joint project the skills of project management the role of governmental system and intermediariesThe main achievements of the research are a the importance of the organizational knowledge capability and the level of complexity of the product design b the role of the scientific and operational insight of the project manager c the importance of coevolution in the product design and process and the facilitating role of the governmental system in the Joint RD projects
