Abstract
A comparative study of national versus international research projects was conducted in a large corporate research centre. Factors most associated with performance for both types of projects are quality and extent of communications, use of integrative mechanisms, adequacy of resources, motivation of research teams and product value. In international projects, functional excellence also contributes to higher performance
