Article Abstract:
A study of the Technology for Business Growth (TBG) program and its effect on organizational learning in businesses in New Zealand reveals no changes in the positive attitude of managers towards R&D collaborations. The study indicates that most of the changes occur in the area of the participating companies' attitudes toward R&D project management, with most firms adopting the practices learned from the TBG application procedures. The results provide ample evidence that organizational learning in New Zealand has already taken place.
