摘要

Though key to fostering innovation, interpersonal exchanges of resources between R&D scientists across organizational boundaries can represent intellectual capital leaks.

Strategic resources can only be exchanged under conditions of acquaintance and mutual trust. The economic interests of a scientist's employing firm and personal considerations are intertwined.
