A literature review of relevant issues was addressed and it followed by the proposition of a primitive research framework on Pyrotechnic R&;D management. The framework was verified by a series of field interviews with 14 managers in various divisions to find out how R&;D projects were managed; what the frequent occurred problems and what the critical success factors were. This study concludes that factors influencing pyrotechnic R&;D management project can be identified as external factors, internal factors, and management skills. To sustain a superior Pyrotechnic R&;D management performance, knowledge management and quality management need to be fully practiced. A well managed and high performance Pyrotechnic R&;D project would ensure high productivity and high quality in real production and high military customer satisfaction. This case institute is currently confronting of organization restructuring. This study also suggests that the best choice for better practicing pyrotechnic R&;D is to remain unchanged for the support to the division.
