Lincoln Labs: (e.g.) http://worrydream.com/refs/Buxton%20-%20Interaction%20at%20Lincoln%20Laboratory%20in%20the%201960.pdf … SRI: (e.g.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0804738718 RAND Corporation: (e.g.) http://worrydream.com/refs/Kennedy%20-%20Administration%20of%20Research%20in%20a%20Research%20Corporation.html … Interval (as a cautionary tale perhaps)

- Wow http://worrydream.com/refs/ that's the good stuff - I crowdsourced a spreadsheet of labs once a few years ago https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ogShrx5UP0Ulb2knCAOZ3irmFrjIcuTP7gmOforA09E/edit#gid=0 … - IMO most labs have to be non-threatening to the core business. No one funds OUR WORST NIGHTMARE LABS. But they should!

Some big holes: never found a good book/paper on Media Lab. Charlie Songhurt and I were talking about this question recently but abstractly: how do large-scale (read: bureaucratic) human endeavors requiring creativity succeed. Including gov: Manhattan Project, Human Genome, etc.

I'd argue that competition is key. The Manhattan project, Human Genome, bletchley park, and the early space program were races. A fear of losing is a great motivator

Not sure what qualifies as successful, but in terms of high quality writing on this subject, Nathan Myhrvold's original memo laying out why Microsoft should start its own research lab is good:https://www.xconomy.com/national/2013/10/01/microsoft-research-memo-slideshow/ …
