- Management of scientific and technological activity
- Management of research & development, product design and innovation
- Strategy formulation and human resources

R&D Management is less to do with the underpinning technologies of R&D and more to do with the practice of good management to ensure the most efficient and effective ways of cultivating and exploring R&D and innovation. 'Management' is the key word with successful candidates exploring new concepts and techniques for managing R&D and technology innovation.
