全世界各大企業的研發費用排名。
剛好看到有各大智慧型手機品牌的營收、研發費用比較文章,
所以順手查一下這部分的資訊,發現三星真的是很龐大的企業,
令人需要深思的是台灣、韓國兩國企業的差異,
2012年三星的研發費用居然高達 90億美元。
2012年HTC的全年營收大概是 155億美元。(年度財報未公布,不一定準確)
目的不是在於比較兩企業的差異,而是三星企業規模的龐大令人感到恐懼,而且另外一篇文章指出研發費用約佔 6%的總營收而已。
而研發費用每年逐漸提高,從2005年 43億 > 2012年 90億。

The 20 Biggest Corporate R&D Spenders In The World
Every year management consulting Booz & Co. puts together a comprehensive report on the world's 1000 biggest spenders on research and development, and the connection between that spending and performance.
Booz & Co. senior partner Barry Jaruzelski told us that "in the US, Europe, and Japan that's fairly easy to put together, but to do it on every market, to get South Africa, China, India, Brazil, Russia, Israel, etc. takes a fair amount more effort."
There's an incredible amount of money in R&D. The top 20 companies alone spent $153.6 billion last year, which is more than a quarter of the total $603 billion by the world's 1000 biggest spenders.
Here are last year's top 20 spenders:
