• “Critical Mass Requirements”: 50 to 100 minimum size for a multi-disciplinary laboratory
• Linkages with sources of scientific knowledge: Proximity to universities
• Face to face communications: Personal contacts
• Pooled R & D more efficient than sequential
• Growing need for closer interaction with customers

• Loss of critical mass• Difficult to communicate• Risk of duplications• Difficult to integrate

Research laboratoriesIn charge of long projects, dealing with new technologies or scientific discoveries that are not necessarily related to a particular product. These laboratories are global by nature, and most often, but not always, are located near the corporate centre.
Development laboratories In charge of projects which has the objective to lead to a product or process innovation. Supporting/adaptive unitsProvide product or process adaptation according to local contexts.
Scanning units Monitor technological development and contribute to the knowledge platform of the company.

• Causal Ambiguity makes it difficult to have a precise modelling of the cause and effects relationships. Causal ambiguity exists when tacit knowledge is at the core of the functioning of the practice.
• Lack of Absorbent Capacity by the recipient unit who is not capable of interpreting the knowledge transfer and to apply it. Here again, tacitness may constitute a barrier to knowledge transfer when the recipient unit has not the inside resources to “crack” the implicit, non-verbal elements of the practices.
• Arduous Relationships that exist when tacit knowledge requires multiple interactions between individuals, particularly when geographical and cultural distance are present.

Business units and team leaders trained and experienced in D& D practices: Open, multicultural alert, intuitive communicators Socialisation before team work implying “non productive” social interfaces
Transitional encounters (conferences, seminar, workshops..) with loose agenda to allow for tacit knowledge to be shared.
Make teams aware of contexts through visits, education
Strong, accessible, open, user-friendly knowledge management platforms (Electronic libraries, case studies, chat rooms,..)

• Restrict disclosure of IP to selected employees• Require key employees to sign individual secrecy agreements• Establish a strict catalogue of level of confidentiality • Keep IP in secure location• Educate employees on the rationale and the consequences of
infringement• Regular interviews of employees • Prepare a handbook giving the list of items to be protected what to do
in case of leakage suspicion; give recommendation about best practices.
IPR Protection Approaches
Employees
• Non disclosure agreements• Establish rules about what can be disclosed and what cannot be• Education about benefits/risks in IP protection/enfrigment
• Be specific in the Joint Venture Contact• Use “black box “ approach when technically feasible• Screen partners' employees
• Formal agreements not to use/ resale copies/ pirated products
• Education about benefits/risks in IP protection/enfringment
• Lobby governments• Use diplomatic channels to support actions• Engage in legal action as soon as possible, even if the legal context is
unfavourable
