- abstract
- The topic of Research and Development practice is explored with focus towards the environment of a research-type department, namely an engineering faculty. The aim is to explore those factors that aid engineering research personnel in being able to carry out effective research. In this manner, with relevant literature study, a survey is constructed with the intent of obtaining some characteristic information of an engineering department. From this conclusions can be drawn as to the current strengths and weaknesses of the department, relevant statistical analysis performed, and references made to theoretical models of organisational effectiveness.
