Abstract

The multi-attribute assessment of an R&D portfolio is key for a company´s long term survival. As sustainability is entering the stage both on the technological and financial as well as the people oriented aspects, a consistent approach is mandatory. Five models help to underpin a balanced evaluation in the light of a B2C company producing kitchen ware.
