The Impact

This paper examines the influence of Research and Development (R&D) strategy on firm performance controlling for external environment. In this turbulent era, several firms build their competitive advantage on their innovation competence investing on R&D. Drawing upon a sample of 248 firms located in Greece, a structured questionnaire was developed to measure R&D strategy, external environment (dynamism, complexity, munificence, technological) and firm performance (financial, market, innovation, growth and organizational). The importance of R&D strategy in explaining the variance of all performance dimensions is confirmed with innovation performance playing a dominant role. Results indicate that R&D strategy is the most crucial antecedent of firm performance, controlling for business environment. Among environmental dimensions, only dynamism exerts statistical significant relationships. Regarding organizational size, larger firms possess a competitive advantage in the market, enjoying dominant market shares, while smaller firms exhibit supremacy regarding their innovative behavior.

Flexible Integration

The modern development of research and development (R&D) is critical for Romania, an emerging country with smart people, scientists and entrepreneurs, especially in the actual context after the global crisis. In order to gain the desired performance in fundamental and applied R&D it is necessary to change the actual vision and to understand the importance of long term processes and the role of flexibility and adaptability to the movement of global markets. A new strategy for research and development (R&D) in Romania is necessary in the actual context, because it is very difficult to obtain the critical mass of resources and the processes of tranformation are difficult in the case of Romania. This research is also important because R&D is based on public funds and public organizations are typical isolated, dominated by an organizational fragmentation and the low caopability to adopt the technological progress. ERP systems represents a paradigm capable to sustain the Romania R&D strategy also because they represent the central element of the future e-governance architecture. That is why in the case of Romanian R&D strategy the integration of ERP should be consider in a special framework.
