Project Selection in Monolithic Organizations.

Abstract

The objective is to develop a methodology to relate Research and Development programs of government departments to their objectives. The methodology here would combine simulation and judgment techniques to derive performance indicators reflecting government's objectives, forecast the total impact of R and D activities and evaluate them in terms of these indicators. This will be accomplished in two parts; the first part consisted of a cross impact simulator which deals with the translation of R and D activities into derived costs and benefits. This simulator is used to forecast the consequences of programs in environments with complex interactions. In the second part, 'Evaluation Procedures', the author will identify objectives and translate them into an operational scheme of evaluation criteria. In other words, identify benefit and cost components relating to objectives.
