| Abstract: | Since the end of the Cold War, ministries of defence in Europe and the United States have sought new models for the management
of government defence research laboratories. The United Kingdom’s reform and subsequent privatisation of its government defence
research establishments (GDREs) represents one of the most radical policy responses. This paper considers the UK case through
the lens of innovation systems theory and uses defence labs reform to examine the impact of organisational change on the dynamics
of an innovation system. The potential policy implications for the management of government defence research laboratories
are also considered.
