Popis: During the last decade there has been increasing questioning in industrial firms of the value and returns from conventionally organized R & D particularly from central research organizations concerned with longer term innovation. This paper describes how one multi-divisional company, with a wide range of markets, has radically changed its Central R & D function to a Pilot Venture structure, with the object of greatly increasing its effectiveness. The main concepts involved in this ‘New Venture Secretariat’ are not new, but it is felt the particular approach used is novel.
