Research and Development is the vehicle by which organizations and economies create opportunity, innovation and secure a stream of future products and services.These outcomes are all critically important sources of sustainability in a world that is changing faster than most companies can keep up.The challenge behind them is the fundamental unpredictability of R&D; which is why effective project management is so important.

Recenzii

’Ron Basu never disappoints. His books show how to make things happen. In this book he draws on his many years as a project manager and on his teaching experience as an MBA lecturer to provide an easy to read strategy for taking a R and D project from inception through to fruition. His how to do it approach is supported by well researched case studies. Highly recommended.’ Nevan Wright JP, Auckland Institute of Studies, New Zealand ’Dr Ron Basu has delivered a highly recommended and much-needed treatise on R&D initiatives. This excellent resource is both authoritative and comprehensive offering a tried and tested approach for delivering successful R&D projects.’ Darren Dalcher, Director, National Centre for Project Management, UK ’For those needing a thorough introduction to R&D Project Management, Ron Basu provides a wealth of materials for those seeking to understand how project management is being successfully applied in R&D in larger, traditional businesses.’ Michael Cross, Chair and Co-founder, Rezatec Limited, UK ’The economic advantage of developed countries is closely tied with their ability to add value through innovation.
