Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the organizing process of projects, which affect the performance of research and development (R&D) crucially, by using agent-based simulation and case study. We develop an agent-based simulation model that contains two types of R&D style : Japanese pharmaceutical companies' style and Merck's style. As a result of simulation, it is proven that the senior managers observed in Merck who have high communication capabilities, we call the person "HWCM (Heavy-Weight Communication Manager)" in this paper, contribute to the start-up speed of the projects. Based on the result of simulation, we analyze the case of Merck again and try to show the effect of HWCM for high R&D performance of Merck.
