Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics and problems of existing research through various literature investigations on the existing R&D process. Implications are identified through the investigation of existing studies and the characteristics of the digital transformation era are analyzed. We research and propose a new R&D process suitable for the new era of digital transformation. Methods: The research method investigates various literature precedent studies on the existing R&D process and the methods used by companies. Research new R&D processes that reflect the characteristics of the digital transformation era and develop new related models. Results: In the era of digital transformation, the parallel R&D process is being reorganized to respond quickly to the demands of rapid market changes. In order to respond quickly to various customers, the R&D process can respond flexibly in a parallel structure. Conclusion: Along with the development of the R&D process, additional research on indicators and evaluation models that can evaluate them fairly and flexibly is needed. Further research is needed to determine whether the R&D process suitable for the digital transformation era is operating properly.
