The article „Agile R&D Units’ Organization Beyond Software—Developing and Validating a Multidimensional Scale in an Engineering Context" by Andre Meier and Alexander Kock is published in the Journal IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management (IEEE-TEM).
The published article initially investigates the characteristics of agile R&D units’ organization (ARDO) and develops a scale to measure the practically highly relevant phenomenon of agile R&D units.
The results of the study show that ARDO can be characterized along six dimensions: a culture of agile values, customer integration, autonomy, an iterative work method, cross-functional capabilities, and flat hierarchies. The study validates the newly developed scale via a sample of 175 R&D managers as well as 454 R&D employees, inter alia by showing the positive correlation of ARDO with front-end success.
