The importance of research and development (R&D) is well documented in the innovation and accounting literature.R&D has vital implications on organizational productivity and contributes to the long-term performance and firm value.However, the literature has somewhat overlooked the effect of management control system in relation to leaders’ attention in managing R&D related activities and the ensuing R&D performance.This paper aims to discuss the possible influence of leaders’ attention and management control system as an information system for planning and controlling R&D process within small and medium enterprises context.It contributes to the control system literature by providing insights on scarce organizational resource, namely leaders’ attention.
