Research management: proceedings of the Seminar on Research Management

Research management is often perceived as simply applying normal management skills to specialised activities. There is now a growing realisation that providing effective leadership for research and development activities requires a broad range of technical, administrative, and diplomatic skills and an unusual combination of vision and pragmatism. This publication on R & D management, derived from a Seminar which was held at Kuala Lumpur from 19-22 January 1987, brought together very experienced R & D managers, should be of wide interest.
