With big data capabilities now a decade old, and much wider access to internet-based data repositories by global researchers, studies have been increasing. The "science of R&D Spending" is still a long way from being stitched together, but research is beginning to corroborate findings in certain areas. For example, studying the effects of industry awards has become popular. The award givers are interested in knowing the value of their awards, while the award applicants/winners want to know if it was worth all the time and cost to apply. We'll cover several findings. One category of award lead to a 1% increase in stock price. This example is representative of The R&D Spending Performance 8-8-8 Webinar Series as a whole. In three one-hour sessions, we'll be sharing findings with some substance behind them on the emerging management science of R&D Spending.
Each webinar presents the essence of the subject matter on each topic and provides complete references, citations, and additional sources of information to enable you to dive deeper into any specific topic where you wish further information. If you are looking for "just the facts" without any spin or someone trying to sell you something, these webinars are just for you.
Webinar 1: 8 Conditions That Impact R&D Spending Results
The first program focuses on factors that will negatively impact spending and spending performance. Some of them are controllable, some are not. We discuss eight conditions ranging from spending decisions in boom and bust periods, to overspending and underspending, to the impacts of variable spending and negative events on output and productivity, that lessen the returns on R&D spending.
Webinar 2: 8 Metrics That Quantify R&D Spending Performance
The second program 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.
Webinar 3: 8 Actions That Increase R&D Spending Output
The third program focuses on factors that will positively influence spending and spending performance. All of them are within your control. Does your company have its arms around these? We describe eight actions ranging from good CXO behaviors, to data sciences and digital posturing, to timing new product announcements and actively competing for awards, that increase the returns on R&D spending.

Global R&D Spending & Leaders
Patterns of R&D Spending Behaviors
1 - Procyclicality - is when you spend with the trend.
2 - Intensity - is when you under, over, or hopefully right-spend.
3 - Variability - is when things fluctuate, short and intermediate term.
4 - Emergency - is when there is an geopolitical or financial market event.
5 - Discontinuity - is when you change the budgeted amount, or gaps in funding.
6 - Anticipatory - is when you spot mega-patterns and plan for them.
7 - Divvy - is when the industry pattern lulls you into complacency.
8 - Sociology - is when laws and demographics affect competition.
