The authors tell the story of the Engineering Research Center (ERC) program, which has seldom been publicized, through our quantitative research data as well as through extensive interviews with ERC leaders and people in a variety of positions within ERCs.
Organized Innovation framework can serve as the genesis of a new national innovation policy that bases research funding programs on Organized Innovation principles.
The key advantage of the Organized Innovation principles is that they can maximize the public's return on research and development investments.
