R&D Management And Technology Commercialization

Industrial spending for research and development (R&D) initiatives is growing globally year on year, from both public and private investments. As this spending grows, so does the complexity of R&D organizations and processes. Hence, high-quality R&D management becomes increasingly important to streamline R&D processes. Intended for R&D managers and technology leaders in small, medium, and large enterprises, this book addresses questions such as how to align R&D with broader organizational needs, best practices for R&D hiring and team-building, how to select which metrics to be measured, and the process of moving a technology from the laboratory to the market.
