Assessment of an R&D Organisation’s Human Resource Capabilities for the Purpose of Innovative Projects

Abstract

Human resource capabilities are one of the key resources required for R&D organisations to carry out projects aimed at the development and implementation of innovations. Decisions on whether or not such innovative projects may be carried out are conditional on the assessment of the human resource capabilities R&D organisations have at their disposal. The use of this type of organisational capabilities facilitates ongoing implementation of innovative projects and supports the strategic decision-making processes regarding future directions for human resource capability building.
