โฆ Synopsis
The issue of how to achieve value for money from government-funded R & D has over recent years become increasingly important in all industrial nations. The findings of a study which surveys the methods and techniques used to evaluate applied research in Japan are presented. Their analysis determines what lessons can be learned from the approaches to evaluation employed in the main Japanese mission-oriented agencies, in particular MITI and the Science and Technology Agency.
First published in 1988, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.
