What Is Research and Development (R&D)?
Also referred to as research and technical or technological development (RTD), R&D revolves around engaging in activities to foster innovation. Through this process, an organization introduces new products and services to the market or enhances its existing offerings.
What are the objectives of research and development?
What is the role of research and development?
In the absence of R&D entrepreneurship or an effective strategy, a business may face obsolescence unless alternative methods such as mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are employed to survive.
Who invests in research and development?
Technology companies rank among the top investors in R&D, with pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries also making significant contributions.
Examples of research and development activities include Crownsoft's R&D project with Roboteam and Alphabet's Waymo self-driving cars.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Research and Development
According to McKinsey, while pharmaceuticals have traditionally been recognized for their substantial R&D expenditures, sectors such as high tech, automotive, and consumer industries now invest even more, exceeding 20% of earnings EBITDA. In 2020, Amazon allocated 11.1% of its net sales to research and development programs, Alphabet dedicated 15.1% of its revenue, and Huawei invested 15.9% of its revenue. Globally, companies spent $2.3 trillion on R&D in 2019, which accounts for approximately 2% of the global GDP. Annual R&D investment has experienced an average growth rate of around 4% per year since 2010.
As a result of R&D, new products are designed and existing ones revamped. R&D is part of the product development life cycle – the ideation stage. For example, let’s say a client has a challenge to solve or isn’t sure how to approach a problem.
Via R&D, it’s possible to make recommendations, impacting solution design and the roadmap.
Following the R&D phase where feasibility is validated and prototyping takes place, the groundwork is in place for further design work.
R&D project management involves taking the lead in designing processes, sharing knowledge, and tracking the overall value of R&D via metrics. A top-notch strategy combines:
- Comprehending what an organization wants to (and can) deliver
- Alignment of R&D and corporate initiatives
- Determining and prioritizing capabilities and technologies for delivery
- Deciding how to deliver – operating model and organizational design
- Testing the strategy for robustness
- Clear communication of the strategy
