Abstract

Auftrags-F&E wird wegen der zunehmenden technologischen Komplexität von Neuproduktentwicklungen bedeutender. Allerdings sind Zustandekommen und Effizienz von Auftrags-F&E-Lieferbeziehungen durch spezifische wechselseitige Opportunismusspielräume gefährdet. Der Beitrag zeigt, wie die empirische Vertragsforschung, ein Zweig der positiven Institutionenökonomie, hier wirksame Mechanismen der Opportunismuskontrolle identifiziert. Damit präsentiert er nicht nur einen Ansatz zur Handhabung eines höchst relevanten Problems des Technologie- und Innovationsmanagements. Er demonstriert auch beispielhaft die Leistungsfähigkeit der noch jungen und vielversprechenden Disziplin der empirischen Vertragsforschung, die der normativen Institutionenökonomie und der Managementpraxis wertvolle Impulse verleihen kann. Abstract: Due to increasing technological complexity of new product development, Contract R&D becomes more important. However, existence and efficiency of Contract R&D supply relations are endangered by specific mutual opportunism possibilities. The paper shows how empirical contract research, a branch of positive Institutional Economics, identifies effective mechanisms of opportunism control for this kind of supply relations. Thus, the paper does not only provide an approach of dealing with a highly relevant problem of management of technology and innovation. It also demonstrates the potential of the young and promising discipline of empirical contract research that is able to send valuable impulses to normative Institutional Economics as well as to management practice. Key words: Contract R&D, positive Institutional Economics, empirical contract research, innovation management
