Sinopsis
Excerpt from Metrics to Evaluate R and D Groups: Phase I, Qualitative Interviews
The interviews varied from approximately one hour to a full day of interviews. In some situations the interviewee showed us around the facility and introduced us to many people in the organization. In each interview we sought to understand how the interviewee affected and was affected by the organization, how the interviewee believed that the organization measured r&d success, and how he or she believed it should measure r&d success. We discussed the motivation and evaluation of employees and how formal and informal incentives (if any) affected employee behavior and the firm's profitability. Because the interviews were exploratory, they were freewheeling. We allowed each interviewee to explore the topics in any way that he or she found comfortable and we encouraged each person to speak about related topics which they found interesting.

Excerpt from Metrics to Evaluate R and D Groups: Phase I, Qualitative Interviews
In 1990, in the us. Alone, private corporations spent over $70 billion on research and development This was approximately of total sales and of total profits. Similar spending occurred in Japan (over $27 billion) and Germany (over $19 billion). In order to justify investments of this magnitude, private industry must believe that the return on investment (roi) for r&d exceeds the firms' targets.
However, investments in r&d are inherently difficult to evaluate. While the c05ts are clearly visible and are recorded as they incur, the return on r&d investment may occur many years in the future and may be hard to attribute to a specific project. This is particularly true if r&d develops a strategic technical competence that is applied across many projects and pervades everything that the organization does. Furthermore, decisions on which projects to fund or which strategic competence to pursue must be made under considerable market uncertainty m technology uncertainty.
Our long-term goal is to understand how best to allocate r&d investments, but in order to allocate investments we must first understand how firms evaluate the r&d function. We want to know how firms decide whether a project, a program, or a strategic direction succeeds and we want to know how top management rewards and motivates r&d scientists, engineers, and managers based on their past performance and/or their potential. Once we understand how firms now perform these tasks we will be better able to develop a theory to describe and to improve these actions.
