Enterprise Systems Value-Based R&D Portfolio Analytics: Methods, Processes, and Tools

摘要

Investments in business development can be both highly volatile and uncertain, typically spanning a long period of time, and dependent on the development and leveraging of internal and external know-how . As a result, traditional valuation methods are often inadequate and must be enhanced to account for the uncertainties and opportunities offered by a portfolio of R&D investments. The work outlined in this research extends previous research regarding value-based R&D portfolio management and the process of characterizing, assessing, and managing R&D portfolio value. The principal focus of this research is to better understand the process of characterizing, assessing, and managing R&D portfolio value; as well as leveraging associated process artifacts for better evidence-based decision making and enhanced business efficiency and effectiveness across the enterprise.
