Abstract

In the current competitive global business environment, global collaboration in an ecosystem becomes very important to strengthen a company's core competencies. We classify global resources into three types: knowledge resources, manufacturing resources, and deployment resources. There are several types of global knowledge resources, including offshore outsourcing in research and development (R&D), collaborative R&D, mergers and acquisitions, connect and develop activities, and licensing. This study focuses on offshore R&D, where R&D bridge managers play an important role. We clarify the role of R&D bridge managers through a case study of offshore R&D outsourcing by Japanese companies to their R&D centers in India. Although there are several studies about global R&D management from an organization's viewpoint and several studies about bridge system engineers in offshore software development, little research has been conducted on bridge managers in R&D. In this study, the roles of R&D bridge managers are characterized by a comparison between bridge system engineers and R&D bridge managers.

桥梁经理在全球研发项目中的作用

在当前竞争激烈的全球商业环境中，生态系统中的全球协作对于增强公司的核心竞争力变得非常重要。我们将全球资源分为三类:知识资源、制造资源和部署资源。全球知识资源有几种类型，包括研发(R&D)的离岸外包、协同研发、并购、连接和开发活动以及许可。本研究的重点是离岸研发，其中研发桥梁经理发挥着重要作用。我们通过一个日本公司将海外研发外包给其在印度的研发中心的案例来阐明研发桥梁管理者的作用。虽然从组织的角度对全球研发管理进行了一些研究，也对离岸软件开发中的桥梁系统工程师进行了一些研究，但对研发中的桥梁经理进行的研究很少。本研究通过桥梁系统工程师与研发桥梁管理者的比较，对研发桥梁管理者的角色进行了表征。
