| Abstract: | This paper deals with the problem of designing a performance measurement system (PMS) for R&D activities. It is especially explored if and how the design of the PMS is influenced by the type of activity it is applied to, that is, Basic and Applied Research (here as: B-and-A.R.) or new product development (NPD). A framework is developed and used for supporting a multiple case study analysis involving eight Italian technology-intensive firms. It is shown that the criteria for designing the constitutive elements of the PMS are radically different in B-and-A.R. and NPD. |
