Research & Development (R&D) organizations continually explore hundreds of emerging opportunities to identify and successfully design and commercialize new technologies.

Managing R&D organizations is a challenging task. High market and technological uncertainty, coupled with the need to preserve the motivation of scientists and engineers involved in design and development makes the management of R&D organizations a

daunting task. A poor fit between structure, processes, incentives and personalities can impact the outcome and functioning of R&D organizations.
