It would be interesting to break down R&D models into attributes, like:
Average team size?
How are problems selected?
How is funding allocated?
Average amount of funding controlled by a single manager?
How is talent selected?
How is talent developed?
Etc.
And then fill out a table of those attributes for all the major models (university lab, corporate lab, DARPA, etc.)
This is interesting. I guess I anecdotally have started doing this but my memory (like everyone’s) can be quite faulty/hazy. Maybe I’ll start keeping a running spreadsheet that I mark up as I read.
