Abstract This paper describes a management aid devised to illustrate the inter‐relationships between present company business activities and the investigational activities of the various company R&D functions. It is based on the‐ construction of a three‐dimensional model in which the raw material, process and market parameters are the axes. Use of the model can facilitate project definition and selection in R and D departments and can be extended as a management aid in studies of R & D resource allocation and acquisition studies.
