A Study on the Relationship between Network Characteristics of Researchers and R&D Performance in R&D Organization

It is becoming more and more difficult to cope with new knowledge and technology required by society by the efforts of one person or organization according to the development of science and technology. As a method to overcome this, collaborative research is becoming important. This tendency is increasing in the government R&D projects as well, and the `A’ test research institute, which is the subject of this paper, is also increasing a collaborative research. The purpose of this study is to analyze the network characteristics among the participating researchers in the government R&D project conducted by the institution A, and to ascertain how the network characters of the researchers actually affect the financial performance of the team. The results of the analysis show that `closeness centrality’ and `degree of centrality’ contribute positively to the financial performance of the team. On the other hand, `betweenness centrality’ and `eigenvector centrality’ have a negative effect on the financial performance of the team because they are not directly related to financial performance.
