全球研发投资10强企业
9. 谷歌 • 2013年研发支出:80亿美元 • 占收入的百分比:13.2% 这家总部位于美国加州山景城的互联网公司以从事异想天开的研发项目而著称。谷歌投资的技术看似稀奇古怪,比如自动驾驶汽车、谷歌眼镜和Wi-Fi气球。最新年报显示,该公司研发部门约有1.86万名员工,大多数研发资金都用于人员配置和为个人提供支持。这份年报称:“我们的产品开发哲学是尽早、频繁地推出创新产品,然后通过快速迭代让这些产品更加完善。” |
9. Google • R&D spending in 2013: $8 billion • As a percentage of revenue: 13.2% Known for pursuing moonshot R&D projects, the Mountain View, Calif.-based Internet company has invested in seemingly outlandish technologies such as self-driving cars, computer eyewear and balloon-distributed Wi-Fi. The company employs about 18,600 people in research and development according to its latest annual report, and most of its R&D costs go into staffing and personnel support. According to Google's annual report, "our product development philosophy is to launch innovative products early and often, and then iterate rapidly to make those products even better." |
