Abstract
Focuses on the R&D effectiveness index developed by PRTM, which, when combined with an in‐depth, qualitative assessment of skills and effectiveness, can provide an accurate measure of overall product development process performance. The index is defined as the ratio of new product profit to R&D costs. Describes how the R&D effectiveness index was used by PRTM for one of its clients to help it decide how to restructure its R&D organizations.
