Abstract | This study attempts to develop a model of R&.D performruice evaluation for 11 research organization. Unlike the conventional approaches, the proposed R&.D perfornumce evaluation model incorporates the technology components concept, input/output ratio, and effectiveness concept. Theory of teclmology component is employed to categorize the R&.D input and output factors .in order to calculate the efficiency. Weights for R&D input ftl1d output fact.ors are derived by 11 survey on senior managers of BES using pairwise comparison technique to put consideration of effectiveness before calculatfag the perfonrnmce index. And the proposed model is applied to BES Enginee1i.ng Corporntion (BES), one of tJrn largest genernJ contractors in the Republic of China, in this reseaJ'ch. Two c1it.eria ase employed in the model, namely, effectjveness and efficiency. Some practical procedures of assigning monetary value to elements of R&D input 1md output factors are discussed. Financ.inJ princip.les are employed to dedde monetary vnJue for elements of R&.D out.put factors. Traditfonnl accounting principles can be employed in assigning monetary vnJue as cost to elements of R&.D input and factors. Fw-the1more, through tJ1e sensitivity analysis, some mnnagerial implications am cUscussed from the view point of bo1J1 top management and R&D department. of BES. |
