Abstract: Government research and development (R&D) are different from other type of organizations in various aspects.One main difference lies in the performance management of these organizations.Many other types of organizations measure performance using concepts such as profitability, market share, return on investments (ROI) etc.These measures do not explain the motivations of government R&D organizations because the goals of these organizations are quite different.The main goals of government R&D organizations include conducting basic scientific research that private sector avoids, providing expertise on various disciplines to other government organizations, conducting classified government research, developing industry standards etc.In this paper, we identify a set of metrics that can be used for performance management in government R&D organizations.An organization is able to manage and monitor the expertise accumulated using the identified metrics.While these metrics are develo ped mainly for government R&D organizations, they may also be used by other types of organizations.
