First introduced in Anne Marie Knott’s influential
Harvard Business Review article, RQTM (Research Quotient) is a
revolutionary new tool that measures a company’s R&D capability—its ability
to convert investment in R&D into products and services people want to buy
or to reduce the cost of producing these. RQ not only tells companies how
“smart” they are, it provides a guide for how much they should invest in
R&D to ensure that investment will increase revenues, profits, and market
value.
Armed with insights from her experience as an
R&D project manager, 20 years of academic research, and two National
Science Foundation grants, Knott devised RQ and used the measure to test common
innovation prescriptions across the full spectrum of U.S. companies engaged in
R&D. The results are nothing short of game-changing.
This book promises to
do for innovation and R&D what TQM did for manufacturing and what
Sabremetrics did for baseball. It’ll show you How Innovation Really Works—with
measurable results you can count on.
