This investigation consisted of a theoretical and empirical literature search and an extensive telephone interview process to identify the state-of-the-art R & D productivity indicators. The literature search (of publications from 1960 to the present) resulted in a chronological presentation of theoretical and empirical R & D productivity measurement methodologies and an expanded bibliography. The telephone interview process surveyed 14 Air Force, 30 Army, 20 Navy, and 21 industry laboratories. Specific literature and interview objective and subjective R & D productivity measurement indicators were identified and compared. Both objective and subjective productivity indicators were identified as the primary means of measuring laboratory productivity in the literature (empirical combined government and industry - 59%, theoretical combined government and industry - 46%) and from the interviews (government - 92%, industry - 62%). Status versus milestones, the degree technical objectives are reached, expenditures versus budget, and periodic reviews were the most common (of a standardized list of 18) indicators to both government and industry laboratories. Effectiveness is perceived as a more important component of productivity than efficiency.

This report describes an experiment in productivity measurement conducted at the National Bureau of Standards. The experiment concludes that no matter how sophisticated the analysis and synthesis processes become, statistical counts of output media (e.g., publications, citations, invited talks) will not serve as reliable measures of R&D productivity. The conduct of the experiment included a work sampling study, a communications study, an output analysis, a value analysis approach to developing criteria for selection and evaluation of programs, construct of a rating system for evaluation of programs, and construction of a model of the R&D process.

Download Evaluation and Performance Measurement of Research and Development Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book develops and illustrates a comprehensive, multi-level framework for the evaluation of industrial research and development (R&D) activities and the measurement of their performance. The framework encompasses a set of hierarchical, interrelated levels at which R&D evaluation and performance measurement could be undertaken. This enlightening book focuses on the single industrial firm to study performance measurement of R&D functions, projects and individual researchers or engineers. It also addresses R&D evaluation from the point of view of financial markets, with a focus on the relationship between R&D investments and the value of the traded firm. The book broadens tin scope to study the role of technology platforms as R&D coordination mechanisms and also looks at the evaluation of R&D policies. This book will be warmly welcomed by researchers and postgraduate students in disciplines concerned with innovation management, technology policy, and finance who wish to gain an updated overview of R&D evaluation and performance measurement as well as exploring different units of analysis.

Download RDT&E Laboratory Capacity Utilization and Productivity Measurement Methods for Financial Decision-Making Within DON Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This thesis identifies capacity utilization and productivity measures applicable to Department of the Navy (DON) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) laboratories. The recent emphasis on efficiency and sound business practices from a financial management perspective mandates that the Navy evaluate and incorporate appropriate laboratory performance measures. Industry capacity utilization and productivity measurement techniques and models were evaluated for their potential application to the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) RDT&E organization. The CAM-I capacity model was selected from the twelve industry models reviewed as a measure of capacity utilization. Additionally, laboratory productivity was examined in terms of revenue and full cost with measures of return on operations, operating margin, and operating margin per square foot. Productivity data were collected from NAWCAD accounting records. Observations, interviews, and a questionnaire were used to gather laboratory operating characteristics and capacity utilization data. The data were input to the selected measures and the results were analyzed. This analysis found that the measures identified provide a financial basis for responsible RDT&E resource decision-making and have potential application to all Department of Defense (DOD) RDT&E laboratory activities.
