The required data to determine R&D organisational factors as critical success factors (CSF) is collected through survey results in EU bioethanol industry. For claim verification and establishing the relationships between organizational critical success factors of R&D and determinants of technological innovation in the bio-ethanol industries study includes analyses of activities of European bioethanol producers, descriptive statistics methods, econometric analysis and data evaluation.
