Collaborative R&D projects survey evaluating success factors

This data was used to investigate the following Hyphotesis:

Hypothesis 1: The effect of project management success factors on R&D project performance is different in terms of the external knowledge source involved in the R&D project.

The data comes from a survey with 53 collaborative R&D projects which were electronically collected using the Survey Monkey survey system. There is no data bank in Brazil grouping contacts from R&D professionals, and we did not have access to an international database. Therefore, a data bank was built based on the following:

1. Face-to-face meetings during the Open Innovation Week Seminar in Brazil in February 2017 (11 e-mails were sent after the face-to-face introduction).
2. Contact list from the World Open Innovation Conference in Santa Clara, CA, USA, in December 2015. Contacts from companies were identified in this list, so university professors and students were excluded (50 e-mails were sent).
3. Contacts from ISPIM (International Society for Professional Innovation Management) Innovation Conference in Vienna, Austria in June 2017. R&D professionals were identified from this conference list. As the contact information for most of them was from LinkedIn, a personal presentation was necessary to get the approval to send the survey link (9 contacts accepted this invitation).
4. Data bank from pharmaceutical companies registered in Brazil developed by Bataglia (2013). This data base included pharmaceutical related companies, like pharmacies. Therefore, a new list was generated considering just pharmaceutical companies (223 contacts received the e-mail).
5. Personal contacts of R&D professional in multinational companies in Brazil (12 e-mails were sent).

Finally, the data bank contained 335 contacts that received a request to answer the survey. An e-mail presenting the research and asking for R&D professionals to answer the survey was sent to these contacts, and, after a week without receiving an answer, a new e-mail asking for support was sent.

本数据集用于验证下述研究假设：

假设1：研发项目所涉及的外部知识来源不同时，项目管理成功因素对研发项目绩效的影响存在差异。

本数据集通过问卷调查收集得到，共涵盖53项合作研发项目，问卷调研依托Survey Monkey（线上问卷系统）完成。由于巴西暂无整合研发从业者联系方式的公共数据库，且我们无法获取国际商用数据库权限，因此通过以下渠道自建调研样本库：
1. 2017年2月巴西开放创新周研讨会期间的线下对接，完成面对面接洽后共发送11封跟进邮件；
2. 2015年12月美国加利福尼亚州圣克拉拉市世界开放创新大会的参会联系人名单，该名单仅保留企业联系人，剔除高校教师与学生群体，共发送50封调研邮件；
3. 2017年6月奥地利维也纳国际专业创新管理学会（ISPIM，International Society for Professional Innovation Management）创新大会的参会从业者名单，该名单中多数联系人的联系方式来自LinkedIn，需通过个人介绍获取调研授权，最终9位受访者同意参与；
4. Bataglia（2013）构建的巴西注册制药企业数据库，该原始数据库涵盖医药相关企业（含药房），因此我们仅保留制药企业相关联系人，共向223位从业者发送调研邮件；
5. 巴西境内跨国企业研发从业者的个人人脉资源，共发送12封调研邮件。

最终，本调研样本库共纳入335位待调研的研发从业者，我们向其发送了介绍本研究并邀请参与调研的邮件，在首次发送一周未收到回复后，又发送了一封催复邮件。
