Abstract
In this paper the matrix model of an R&D organization developed by Dean (1967) has been extended to organizations with mixed global objectives based on a graph-theoretic formulation. The extended model can be applied to problems like the maximization of R&D outputs of a number of organizations at the level of either a corporation or a country such that a specified growth in the overall research competence of the entire corporation or the country is maintained.
