Synopsis
This book explores the complex web of metrics and incentives used to evaluate and motivate researchers and managers within the R&D function of large, research-intensive organizations. The author provides a tiered perspective on the R&D mission, emphasizing the roles of customers, managers, and corporate investment in each tier. The book delves into the challenges of measuring R&D success, particularly in the early stages, due to factors like long timelines, uncertainty, and free-riding. The author discusses various approaches to overcome these challenges, including funding mechanisms, reward structures, and managerial judgment, while acknowledging the tensions between short-term and long-term goals. By examining real-world examples and insights from practicing R&D professionals, the book offers valuable guidance for organizations seeking to optimize their R&D investments and foster innovation.
