Excerpt from An Investigation Into the Managerial Roles and Career Paths of Gatekeepers and Project Supervisors in a Major R and D Facility
Given this burden in communicating across differentiated organizational boundaries, how can project groups be effectively linked to external infor mation areas? One way is through the role of project gatekeeper; that is, certain project members who are strongly connected to outside information domains but who are also capable of translating technical developments and ideas across contrasting coding schemes (allen and Cohen, Through these key members, external information can be channelled into project groups by means of a two-step communication process (coleman, Katz, and Menzel, First, gatekeepers gather and understand outside information, and subsequently they translate it into terms that are more meaningful to their locally con strained colleagues. Gatekeepers, as a result, perform an extremely valuable function, for they may be the principal means by which external ideas and information can be effectively transferred into rgd project groups.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates how project leaders manage the transfer and application of external information and technology in major research and development (R&D) facilities. The author contrasts the managerial roles and subsequent career paths of gatekeepers â" project supervisors strongly connected to both internal colleagues and external sources of information â" against project supervisors not functioning as gatekeepers. The research establishes the importance of gatekeepers in linking certain projects with external information sources, especially for projects focused on locally defined tasks and dynamic technologies. The book also examines the differences between communication activities of project supervisors promoted up the managerial ladder versus those up the technical ladder, providing valuable insights into the role of technical and interpersonal skills in career advancement.
