A NOTE ON MODELING PROJECT INTERDEPENDENCE IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT*
区分了研发项目中特定项目间的内部相互依赖与外部环境因素导致的相互依赖,并提出了将两者纳入资源分配优化模型的公式,通过实例分析了外部环境因素的情况。
Abstract This note is concerned with the problem of resource allocation under uncertainty in a research and development laboratory. A distinction is defined between project interrelationships that are specific (or internal) to certain projects and interrelationships resulting from external environmental factors. Formulations are introduced that allow both types of interrelationships to be formally included in a resource allocation optimization model. In the case of external environmental factors, an example is presented and analyzed.
