Abstract
This chapter focuses on management principles for the unique environment in which new IR products are created. Much of it is based on too-frequently observed management errors. While some of the chapter’s content may seem obvious, common sense is too often forgotten or ignored. The chapter’s frankness is intended to underscore the importance of the issues it discusses.
“In scientific research, political savvy, physical endurance, money, and maybe guts can be as important as scientific insight.”
Gary Taubes
