摘要
Recent concerns over national and corporate competitiveness have stimulated a renewed interest in the measurement of R&D productivity. However, the complexity of measurement problems in R & D organizations has resulted in a situation where there is a scarcity of generally accepted techniques. This paper reviews the major measurement issues connected with R & D productivity and represents the results of a case study to develop a R & D productivity measurement system. It describes the process of designing such a system for a high-tech, product-development organization, and also provides a reduced list of ten R & D productivity indicators for ongoing monitoring purposes.
