The track record of technology transfer within a rangelands R&D context is poor - even with new participatory approaches. The reasons for this relate to the nature of R&D problems, technology identification and specification, institutional frameworks, culture, and reward practices, identification of changing stakeholder interests, and the management of power relationships. A Punctuated Arena Model is used to suggest new directions for the way R&D is framed, conducted and evaluated, and how stakeholder relationships might be managed to increase the probability of technology transfer success.
