We explore the link between a firm's organization of research specifically its choice to operate a centralized or decentralized R & D structure and the type of innovation it produces. We propose that by reducing th einternal transaction costs associated with R & D coordination across units, centralized R & D will geenrate innovations that have a larger and broader impact on subsequent technological evolution than will decentralized research. We also propose that by facilitating more distant ("capabilities - broadening") search, centralized R & D will generate innovations that draw on a wider range of technologies. Our empirical results provide support for our predictions concerning impact, and mixed results for our predictions concerning breath of search. We also find that control over research budgets complements direct authority relations in contributing to innovative impact. We propose several extensions of this research.
