| Abstract: | The main findings of a research project into differences in organisation, management and activities between R&D cost centres, semi-profit centres, profit centres, and independent R&D businesses are presented in this publication. It is concluded that there are notable differences between cost and profit-oriented R&D structures relating to the degree of freedom in decision making on research management topics, the balance among types of R&D activities, strategy formulation, performance evaluation, marketing and management demands imposed on the capabilities and attitude of the staff. |
