How much R&D ?
• Unfortunately, research and development are very
difficult to manage
• Why?
– the defining feature of research is that the researchers do
not know in advance exactly how to accomplish the
desired result
– as a result, higher R&D spending does not guarantee
“more creativity, higher profit or a greater market share”
R&D spending
• Apple, Google, and 3M may top Bloomberg’s list of
the world’s most innovative companies, but they’re
not the biggest research and development spenders
– not even part of the Top 20
• In top 10 R&D spenders : Microsoft, Nokia, Toyota,
Samsung and surprisingly (or not?) many
pharmaceutical companies like: Pfizer, Novartis,
Roche Holding (Top1 -$9.1 billion), GlaxoSmithKline
R&D
• Research and development is nowadays of great
importance in business as the level of competition,
production processes and methods are rapidly
increasing.
• It is of special importance in the field of marketing
where companies keep an eagle eye on competitors
and customers in order to keep pace with modern
trends and analyze the needs, demands and desires
of their customers.
