Abstract
Innovation is pivotal for development, and efficient research and development (R&D) processes are essential for fostering innovation. However, Chinese enterprises often grapple with challenges in their R&D processes, such as a lack of autonomy, missed improvement opportunities, and reluctance to take risks. This paper advocates for re-engineering the R&D process, highlighting the holacracy system as a promising solution. Holacracy, with its network structure and self-management teams, is gaining popularity for R&D process re-engineering. The paper explores successful enterprises using holacracy, combining enterprise process re-engineering theory with holacracy's organizational model to propose a path for R&D process re-engineering. Recommendations and countermeasures for localized implementation in China are provided, aiming to enhance R&D efficiency and address common dilemmas in Chinese enterprises.
