Features: With the advancement of science and technology, the research of scientific problems has become increasingly socialized. Scientific research is no longer individual, artisan-like work but rather a scaled collective effort. The work of researchers is no longer scattered and closed off but emphasizes collaboration and openness. Scientific creation is no longer a model of individual heroism but more a crystallization of team wisdom. A research team is a group composed of a small number of researchers with complementary skills, who are willing to take mutual responsibility for shared research objectives, goals, and working methods, all oriented toward specific research projects. In the process of enterprise and economic development, there has never been a key solution to the problem of how to improve the efficiency of transforming science and technology into productivity. After research and investigation, we have focused on the construction of research teams. This book takes research teams as its subject, combining practical investigations of specific research teams to identify scientific management models for research teams. The book is logically structured, with reasonable arguments and concise language. Through processes, models, and analytical tools, readers can not only understand research teams but also master methods for managing them. This book is suitable for all individuals involved in research team management, particularly for staff working in research institutions, corporate R&D centers, engineering centers, and university research departments. It is also a must-read for public administrators, offering valuable insights into how to motivate knowledge workers, evaluate knowledge workers, and transform technology and knowledge into productivity.
