Comment on Ask HN: Suggested reading about managing R&D projects

Comments

Great question, I've taken some of these books down to read later.

I was fascinated by The Pentagon Wars [0]. Arguably US Military is one of the biggest bureaucracies that spends tons of money on R&D projects. Apart from describing the issues with the projects themselves, the author describes how structuring the incentives could potentially pervert the process of developing new tech. I really loved it.

Thanks for this
