Lesson 5.

C.

1. c) R&D planning consists of choosing projects that will use available human and financial
resources in the most efficient and profitable projects way.

2. b) manager have to make sure that the total effort needed to carry out an R&D project
is there needs to be a steady flow of new R&D proposals.

3. f) if it is greater they will not be able to reach established targets.

4. d) if it is significantly less they will not be working to their fullest capacity.

5. h) so, managers have to be sure that the demands on their capacity and their resources

6. a) to maintain a balance situation enough to keep them fully loaded but not overloaded.

7. g) Each proposal must be studied by expert in technical, commercial, financial. And

manufacturing areas.

8. e) And R&D managers have an important role to play in proposing new projects as well
as in carrying them out.
