Advantages of R&D departments

• Products are commercialized faster• Products reach global markets• Contribution to customer confidence• Effective exploitation of technologies• Advantages over rivals

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.
