R&D. A conferência deste ano da R&D Management é em Pisa no início de Julho. "Some of the most critical issues concern: - the balance of internal R&D effort and the external acquisition of technology; - using formal or informal arrangements for collaborations and alliances; - designing for corporate, divisional or networked R&D systems; - geographical concentration and centralised R&D vs. decentralised and international R&D; - entrepreneurial open systems vs. integrated R&D; - strategic investment vs. operational efficiency; - problem-solving, business development and strategic opportunity; - deciding NOT to invest in R&D; sponsoring R&D in other organisations."
