Sinopsis

In Organizational Research Program: Engineer Dynamics and Productivity in R&D Projects, discover how manpower flow, training, and management shape project outcomes.

This book analyzes how acquiring, training, and using engineers affects research and development work. It describes the journey of engineers through recruitment, indoctrination, and assignment to tasks, and shows how policies on training, transfers, and supervision influence the pace and effectiveness of a project. A general model ties together factors like management quality, worker categories, and the size of the engineering team to explain productivity in R&D settings.



Grounded in practical observations from industry, the text explains why firms choose different hiring and training approaches, how supervisor and organizational decisions impact daily progress, and why small, tightly coordinated teams can perform exceptionally well even on complex tasks.




  • How recruitment pace and training time shape project timing and costs

  • How different training policies affect short-term productivity and long-term skill development

  • The role of engineering managers and the impact of managerial choices on task outcomes

  • How organization size and structure influence communication, flexibility, and efficiency



Ideal for readers interested in engineering management, R&D productivity, and the design of effective development teams.
