The main purpose of this study is to examine interorganizational cooperation in research and development between competitor, R&D Consortium, by bringing a cross- national perspective. National government in US, Japan, and Korea have become involved in interorganizational arrangement for R&D between competitors over the past few decades, but the Japanese and Korean government has taken a more interventionist approach than US government.Consodia managers face three critical issues in managing interorganizational cooperation, membership management recruiting and retaining members firms, , conflict management coordinating and resolving different interests of member firms, and technology transfer management exchanging and creating information.I try to examine each of these interorganizational management and focus on differences among three countries and test them with a empirical analysis from the survey of R&D consortia in Japan and US and Korea conduced in 1996 and 1997.I use the all of data of Engineering Research Association (ERA) registered under a 1961 law in Japan, R&D joint venture registered under the 1984 National Cooperative Research Act in US, and Industrial Research Association (IRA) registered under a Technology Development Promotion Act of 1977 in Korea.
