The involvement of consulting and engineering design organizations in technological innovation for the Canadian Arctic offshore petroleum industry / Scott Tiffin.: C54-1/89-1983E-PDF

"This report studies the involvement of consulting and engineering design organizations (known as CEDOs) with technological innovation in the Canadian arctic offshore petroleum industry (AOPI). The study is oriented to the discovery of new concepts as opposed to the quantitative testing of existing hypotheses, for there is no previous theory of CEDOs and virtually no literature on innovation by contracting and innovation in resource industries. The research is centred around several major aims, to investigate the extent of CEDO involvement, the kinds of CEDOs involved, the roles, and the factors causing this form of industrial organization. To carry out these aims, it is also necessary to study related aspects of the innovations and the innovation process in the AOPI"--Summary, page vi.
