Exploratory Development Research Effectiveness: A Second Evaluation,
Abstract
The data from this study showed that the output of 43.3% of the work units had transitioned. The factor exerting the most influence on the transition of a work unit's (project's) output again was the amount of technology transfer effort given to it. It was shown statistically that the likelihood of project transision was directly related to the degree of effort directed to technical reports, technical memoranda, technical data sheets and other forms of technical information dissemination, and technical specialization. In contrast, it was also again found that the likelihood of transition of a work unit (project) was not significantly influenced by the years since the work unit was completed, nor by work unit cost. Cross-tabulations of these data are included in the report. The work units studied, as well as pertinent related data, are listed in the appendix.
