Strategic positionStrategic position• organisational autonomy (OA)
º self-governing in deciding about research goals and directions
• strategic interdependence (SI)º sharing of heterogeneously distributed strategic resources
• strategic relationship strategic choices strategic choices result in positions of OA & SI positions of OA & SI are observable in research
contracts

ConclusionsConclusions• model feasible
º creates observables for different modes for different organisations
• application of modelº organisation of researchº strategy development
• inside-out + outside-in views– researcher– societal environment
º further research • different strategic positions differ acquisition of scientific information
