The role of the R&D manager in the age of reform

Abstract

This paper discusses the subject of whether or not research and development management is an essential factor for the market predominance of the United States over Japan and Germany. Amidst possibly the worst domestic economic depression in civilized history, it is vitally important for the members managing research and development divisions in Japanese enterprises to grasp and understand fully world trends and leadership. All negative aspects against research and development must be eliminated and a trust built that openly invites investment.
