dc.description.abstract | Using a sample of twenty research-based institutions within which twenty-seven
collaborative research settings participated in our study, we reveal that strategy
formulation and implementation in research-based institutions in Kenya is
characterized by scarce local talent in collaboration management. We also show that
foreign collaborators dominate strategy formulation and implementation in these
settings, (R2
a=O.996), and that collaboration in international R&D advances foreign
policy objectives. Using the non-cooperative model, we find that dominated strategy
reduces with t.he duration of strategic plans put in place. We contend that realized
strategy in international collaborative R&D is primarily explained by emergent
components rather than planned components of strategy. One implication of our
findings is that a national policy on R&D needs to be put in place. Another implication
is that local researchers need to take a more proactive role in determining the local
research agenda | en |
