DESCRIPTION:Prof. Paola Criscuolo\, Imperial College London\n"The sequence
  effect on the selection of R&D Projects"\n\nAbstract\nThis paper explores
  the micro-dynamics of organizational decision-making\, examining the sequ
 ence effect in decision-making on R&D project selection. We propose that t
 he sequence of selection matters in R&D – even when it should be complet
 ely irrelevant – as projects that appear in a sequence following a funde
 d project are themselves less likely to receive funding. We also theorize 
 that the context of decision-making moderates sequence effects\, focusing 
 on the timing of decisions\, panel expertise and panel composition. We tes
 t these conjectures using a randomization in sequence order from several r
 ounds of R&D project selection at a leading professional service firm\, an
 d find robust support for the existence of sequencing effects in R&D as we
 ll as their attenuation by decision timing and panel expertise. These find
 ings have broader implications for the selection of innovation ideas and R
 &D management as it suggests that a previously overlooked dimension affect
  selection outcomes.
