Strategic R&D Management

Projects & Contracts · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Strategic R&D Management examines how organisations make product innovation happen. It helps senior managers engage in and facilitate product innovation in a way that supports – rather than hinders – their business strategy. Excellent project management is undermined if the portfolio of innovations is not aligned with business needs and strategy. Conversely, brilliant strategies achieve nothing if they are not well executed.
