Technology portfolio management approach for new biopesticides products

New biopesticides products development usually incurs high cost and high risk for clean tech companies. R&D resource allocation is challenging. There are difficulties with technical/market uncertainty and with evaluating the potential contributions of technological investments to firm specific intangible assets. Technology portfolio management (TPM) is a dynamic decision process in which new development projects are evaluated, selected, and prioritized and R&D resources are allocated across development projects to maximize the value of the portfolio, seek the right balance of
projects, ensure that the portfolio is strategically aligned, and make sure there are not too many projects for limited resources. The intern will design and develop the most appropriate technology portfolio management approach for new biopesticides products. The sponsor organization will adopt this approach for its TPM to demonstrate practical application of the research.
