2
Research and Development b R&D aims to increase the available basis of skill and knowledge (technology) b Innovation is the change process that affects the core competency of the enterprise by way of technology
3
CORE COMPETENCE & ABILITIES CREATES PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WHICH THE MARKET BUYS AND PAYS FOR SELECTIVE FLOW TECHNOLOGY: SKILL, KNOWLEDGE (KNOW-HOW) SELECTIVE FLOW INNOVATION

8
Key project elements: b Strategic purpose b Technological competitive strength b Technology maturity b Competitive impact of the technologies b R&D project attractiveness
13
Scoring individual projects for attractiveness b Inventive merit (platform for expansion) b Durability of competitive advantage b Reward b Probability of technical success b Probability of commercial success b R&D costs to completion or key decision point b Time-to-completion or key decision point b Capital and/or marketing
15
Example: Portfolio Dimensions b Annual R&D project cost b R&D project cost to completion b Probability of success b Technological maturity b Technological competitive strength b Project attractiveness b Competitive impact of the technologies imbedded in the project b Time-to-completion
