| Abstract: | The success of an R and D operation depends on selecting the right specialists to occupy management positions. Errors of selection arise because the choice is made on the basis of the candidate's current performance as a scientist or technologist. However good managers and good scientists differ qualitatively. Good scientists adopt an innovative, unconstrained, independent approach to their work, have high self-esteem, are not interested in people and prize technical soundness. R and D managers are interested in people, active, enterprising and want to manage. |
