Exploring larger biotech research firm strategies: projections from a comparison of small and larger firms
Article Abstract:
Small and large biotechnology firms were compared according to the level of research and development (R&D) they undertake and the funding strategies they implement. Results show that total R&D financing is almost covered by total revenue in large firms, but small firms only shoulder part of the cost. A greater percentage of total revenues in large firms come from collaborative research agreements, while small firms use up their assets to stay in the business, leaving almost no budget for R&D.

The productivity of research and development (RAD) efforts of global corporations was examined using 1992 data on 117 US, European and Japanese companies. Productivity was considered on an international and multi-industry basis and measured through patents and impact-adjusted patents, and their influence on RAD expenditures. Results show that the rate and level of returns have been decreasing in all international regions and industries.
