Article Abstract:

The changes in research and development (R&D) approaches have affected the responsibilities and the needs of R&D professionals according to a survey involving first- and second-time R&D managers. Although majority of R&D professionals managed both the research and the development units, more than 40% of the respondents concentrate on either the research or the development sector only. Moreover, while majority of the managers have attended more than one management seminars, a large number of them have never read any books or literature on R&D administration.
