Strategies for best practice in research and technology institutes: an overview of a benchmarking exercise

Successful RTIs are found to engage in highly specialized technical tasks and services that are useful in the innovative activities of the industry. Such group of RTIs concentrate on innovation process' middle ground such as experimental development, process improvement and advanced engineering.

Strategic planning in research and technology institutes

Article Abstract:

Nine of the most successful research and technology institutes (RTIs) in Europe, North America and East Asia were studied to determine the strategic needs of RTIs in adjusting to new user requirements and in adapting to an increasingly volatile financial and innovation environment. Results indicated that it is important for RTIs to determine the kind of business they are in and to have a clear understanding of the future requirements and opportunities for that particular type of business.
