Introduction
This presentation was made in conjunction with the R&D Spending Performance 8-8-8 Webinar Series on December 6, 2018 in Needham, Massachusetts.
Description
This paper focuses on key performance indicators [KPIs] that have R&D spending in their calculation. The metrics range from corporate metrics that are either reported to Wall Street or used by analysts and CFOs, to measures that help to divvy-up funds across business units of different purposes and performance levels, to measures that improve the ranking of investments, to measures that can be used to modulate overspending or underspending for corporate and industry considerations.
Then is a discussion of R&D intensity and how it differs across industries and examine some recent cross-industry findings regarding the specific spending of funds for Advanced Development activities.
This introduction makes for a good lead in to the eight R&D spending metrics as industries are different, as are the quantified values of their metrics.
