面對今日競爭激烈的市場環境，公司積極投入研發工作持續開發新產品已成為一項必備的工作，企業必須不斷地從事研發與創新，才能持續維持錡競爭優勢。由此可知，企業投入研發不但能提昇企業績效，更是獲取競爭優勢的主要來源，綜觀國內外之研究，有關新產品研發(New Product Development)的議題，無論在實務界或是學術研究上皆受到相當大的重視。
有關研發管理領域之研究，對於樣本的特別要求，研究之對象需具備足夠之研發能力，細看國內之產業環境，有進行新產品研發的廠商與有完善研發管理制度的廠商並不多，如何選擇合適的樣本進行作為研究對象，常是令學者們頭痛的問題之一。本研究希望能透過有系統的整理資訊，建置一研發管理資料庫，可供後續學者在進行研究使用。
本研究以國內參與「業界科專」計畫之廠商為研究樣本，透過文獻探討整理收集對於研發管理有影響之資訊，有效整理並建構一資料庫，完整的描述國內有研發能力公司之概況，可對後續研究此領域之學者，提供一有效的工具輔助，以完整的客觀資訊搭配各學者針對不同影響因子之主觀研究，以其能使研發管理此一領域之研究更趨完備。
