Abstract
Parallèlement à ses vertus reconnues dans la création de valeur, la fonction R&D renforce, de par ses caractéristiques, la latitude managériale. Cette proposition est d'autant plus soutenable que les mécanismes d'incitation, de contrôle et de discipline des dirigeants sont, dans les firmes à forte intensité R&D, particulièrement réduits. Plusieurs tests empiriques, bien que différents dans leur finalité, renvoient majoritairement à une utilisation discrétionnaire des ressources investies dans la R&D.
