Issues on selecting National R&D project

Abstract

Because of the difficulties on selecting National R&D projects, it is expected that the errors of decision making can be reduced if the information on project (i.e. project duration, people, budget etc.), and its evaluation result is properly provided to stakeholders as a reference. In reality, however, the result of project evaluation is rarely utilized in its own purpose. One reason is that the information on evaluation result and budget is not shared amongst stakeholders at the right time. The other is that the interconnection between systems to support the R&D evaluation and budget information is not realized yet for further utilization. Therefore, this paper is focused on the improvement of decision process that reviews and selects the R&D project to provide relevant information through the data mapping approaches from different system domain and to suggest the enhanced process for the seamless interconnection between National R&D performance evaluation and budget information. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
