| Abstract: | The paper discusses information collected in a study carried out by Bradford University Management Centre in 1985/86 to establish the state-of-the-art in the use of advanced management techniques in R & D departments of UK organisations. Data from two questionnaires were supplemented by more detailed discussions with selected respondents and a survey of the relevant literature was carried out. Indications are that both project management in R & D and managerial development of R & D staff are receiving attention, particularly from senior management. As yet, however, the potential of recent advances in computer technology and of existing MS techniques has not been fully realised. In this context, the effectiveness of present training courses in project management techniques is questioned. |
