Sources of Ideas and Their Effectiveness in Parallel R& D Projects: July 1965 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book examines the role of information in scientific research and development (R&D) through a study of parallel R&D projects. The author analyzes how R&D engineers generate ideas and evaluate their potential to solve technical problems. By identifying eight distinct information sources, the book explores the effectiveness and utilization of each in the R&D process. The study reveals a disconnect between the quality of ideas generated and the frequency with which engineers rely on certain sources. The author argues for better utilization of internal sources like technical staff and company research programs, while advocating for a critical evaluation of heavily relied-upon sources such as vendors and self-conducted analysis. The findings shed light on the crucial role of information flow and evaluation in driving successful R&D outcomes, emphasizing the importance of optimizing information channels to enhance the effectiveness of scientific research.
