Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: From industry's standpoint, R&D has turned into big business, and, like all big business, the potential for waste and inefficiency looms large. Thus modern R&D demands management. The old freewheeling style with its wild-eyed inventors, uncritical advocates and enthusiastic champions is no longer accepted by the modern funders of research. R&D will never be risk-free. But modern R&D managers are using three grand strategies for getting more innovative bang for the buck: first, through developing more precise understanding of the way progress in science and technology occurs; second, through using this understanding to link the various stages in the innovation process more closely; and, third, through utilizing the resources of basic research more systematically than in the past.
