Abstract :
This study proposes and tests a model concerning perceived innovation in the R&D subsystems of six organisations. Data from a sample of 102 research scientists, representing six industries, are analyzed. It was found that perceived R&D subsystem innovativeness was significantly influenced by the climate of the R&D subsystem, the R&D subsystem structure, and the personal characteristics of the R&D personnel. Managerial implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
