  Comments From Participants
 

Strategic R&D Management programme has helped me to refresh my knowledge. The case discussions, analysis of the China's current R&D environment, and the R&D management tools have all greatly improved my understanding. This programme has also improved my ability to facilitate the coordination of resources between the marketing and R&D departments. More importantly, the programme has provided a deeper understanding of the relationship between the development of the R&D department and market development.
