The Influence of Gatekeepers on Project Performance in a Major R&D Facility

What makes some projects succeed while others fail? Michael Tushman and Ralph Katz explore this question in their groundbreaking study of gatekeepers in the R&D sector. Drawing on empirical data and cutting-edge theories, they demonstrate the key roles that gatekeepers play in determining the success or failure of projects, and offer practical advice for managers and leaders seeking to improve their project performance.
