Abstract :
Much of the technical literature emphasizes R&D project selection. This paper reviews the author´s experience with R&D project selection. In his view, this experience suggests that the emphasis should be on the generation of high-quality R&D projects through effective communication of corporate priorities, implementation issues, and related technical efforts
