Description
Why does R&D expenditure matter? How should executives manage their R&D investment? Should companies increase their R&D spending for greater returns? Should executives (and their company’s shareholders) view R&D as an expense or an investment? With the recent publication of the 2007 UK R&D Scoreboard and the 2007 EU Scoreboards, which benchmark companies and countries on their R&D spend, this event seeks to draw out the key lessons from the scoreboards’ tables, to celebrate companies that are leaders in their field, and to help companies understand why R&D expenditure matters.
Following an introduction from Mike Tubbs on the latest evidence for the links between R&D and business performance, a panel of senior executives from leading R&D-intensive UK companies will give their insights. Following the presentations, a panel and audience discussion will explore the how, where, when, and why of investing in R&D.
