Description
Publicly funded science and technology programs are increasingly required to provide outcome-based evidence for their funded projects. The authors of this book present a theoretical and practical review of current performance measurement practices in R&D organizations around the world. Drawing on actual measurement experiences from Europe, Asia and North and South America, they assess performance measurement techniques used in government funded science and technology research. This illuminating volume includes contributions from leading international academic experts and practitioners, whose collaboration provides not only a unique and applied focus to the chapters but also a rich set of examples and illustrations.
