This book was released on 1971 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Research Analysis Corporation (RAC) has developed a quantitative resource allocation model designed to assist the manager of a major government research and development (R and D) program in evolving better strategies for the allocation of resources to R and D individual programs. This computer-based model (MEASURE I) permits rapid evaluation and comparison of alternative resource allocation strategies which offer the decision maker a wide range of choices in terms of costs, benefits, and other consequences. Having once established the relative worth of the program elements by means of the model, the R and D decision maker can perform an on-line examination of the consequences of alternative strategies and budgets to select that strategy which best meets his stated objectives. Unique features of this model include consideration of the broad spectrum of R and D from pure research to pre-production development. (Author).

This book was released on 1972 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has considered the organization and the allocation of resources to research and development in general, and biomedical research and development in particular. A set of questions related to resource allocation in development is the rate of development as a function of the rate of spending. Here the first problem is to measure the rate of development. Rand has developed a methodology to do this for jet engines, and the same methodology may be applicable to certain biomedical development. Less is known about research than about development. Research is financed on a cost-reimbursement basis because of the uncertainty surrounding the possible outcomes at the beginning of the research effort. To allocate resources within and to biomedical research, willingness to pay is a more appropriate concept than earnings foregone, although the latter has been widely used. Finally, the links between research and development, although widely presumed to exist, are only now beginning to be estimated empirically. (Author).

Download or read book Cost effectiveness in R and D Organizational Resource Allocation written by Burton Victor Dean and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method for use in allocating resources to a multi-laboratory, multi-task research and exploratory development program is described. The basic elements of the underlying model are the tasks, projects, and laboratories; contributing sciences and technologies (S and T's); criticality of such fields to achieving organizational objectives; relative values of objectives; and costs of performing tasks. Structural models are developed for interrelating tasks, S and T fields, and objectives. A cost-effectiveness model is developed for use in allocating resources to tasks. Research and exploratory development effectiveness is measured in terms of the value of task contribution to organizational objectives. (Author).
Download or read book Equitable Resource Allocation written by Hanan Luss and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique book that specifically addresses equitable resource allocation problems with applications in communication networks, manufacturing, emergency services, and more Resource allocation problems focus on assigning limited resources in an economically beneficial way among competing activities. Solutions to such problems affect people and everyday activities with significant impact on the private and public sectors and on society at large. Using diverse application areas as examples, Equitable Resource Allocation: Models, Algorithms, and Applications provides readers with great insight into a topic that is not widely known in the field. Starting with an overview of the topics covered, the book presents a large variety of resource allocation models with special mathematical structures and provides elegant, efficient algorithms that compute optimal solutions to these models. Authored by one of the leading researchers in the field, Equitable Resource Allocation: Is the only book that provides a comprehensive exposition of equitable resource allocation problems Presents a collection of resource allocation models with applications in communication networks, transportation, content distribution, manufacturing, emergency services, and more Exhibits practical algorithms for solving a variety of resource allocation models Uses real-world applications and examples to explain important concepts Includes end-of-chapter exercises Bringing together much of the equitable resource allocation research from the past thirty years, this book is a valuable reference for anyone interested in solving diverse optimization problems.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation was conducted to evaluate the model behavior of a resource allocation system in a government research and development laboratory. Resource allocation is concerned with both project selection and rate of progress control (by regulation of the amount of resources applied to each project). The decision process used by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory (AFFDL) is 'modeled' to show the present and possible future interrelationships between human factors and computer calculations. A method is described for objectively evaluating the 'transfer function' or 'model behavior' of the computerized poriton of this overall decision process with respect ot futurity, timing, risk, uncertainty, payoff values other than profits, and image. These behavior characteristics were determined for the AFFDL based on an evaluation of historical data. (Author).

Book excerpt: The allocation of resources whether to fixed investments such as buildings, land or equipment or to non-fixed investments such as research, new product development, or special advertising campaigns designed to penetrate new geographic markets requires important, complex and sometimes difficult management decisions. These decisions are often critical due to the magnitude of the resources committed, the lengthy time period over which they are committed, the limited supply of the resources, and the strategic implications of decisions. The discounted cash flow (DCF) model considers risk, cash flows and the time value of money; it is presented in finance and accounting texts as the preferred method of selecting projects for the allocation of resources. This paper identifies important problems which limit the use of DCF in practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a first step towards understanding the evolution of small groups in firms, this paper develops and tests a simple decision-theoretic model of research-unit evolution in which, as managers resolve their uncertainty over time, they shut down under-performing units and remove under-performing unit heads. The selection process generates several testable hypotheses about how unit and head characteristics affect the assignment of heads to units and resource allocation within the firm. Data on research units in firms is used to test the model and estimate the relative importance of the different effects on resource allocation.
