Technology and Innovation Management

PROJECT

Submission Deadline: 17th Feb 2019, end of day

Deliverables

Develop an understanding of the Research and Development expenditure of various


industries.

 Identify patterns, trends – increasing, decreasing, stagnant – industry wise, year wise,
etc.
 What are the research areas in which companies are investing their time, money and
efforts? A qualitative study may be undertaken by looking at 2-3 firms in each industry
and developing insights. The study could be extended to about 3-4 prominent
industries. Annual reports / web sites can be sources
 Compute the R&D intensity of firms, identify if it significantly influences firm
performance – here regression can be used. For financial indicators of firm
performance, measures like price to book value, P/E or book value per share can be
taken up. Different interpretations can be given based on the variables chosen.
 Are there linkages of R&D with other routine expenditure like advertising and
marketing expenditure? Correlations can be studied.
 You can select firms which are listed on the BSE. This may reduce the data set to about
4000 firms or so. Further filters can subsequently reduce the data set to about 1000
firms – you may use your judgment for choice of the data set.
 Effectively, both qualitative and quantitative approaches must be used in the report.
