| One of the most basic—and difficult—of corporate challenges is to manage dividends, capital expenditures, and R&D activities while keeping external funding under control and generating profits. How well a company handles this complex balancing act can spell the difference between success and failure. This pioneering book examines the vital connections between technology management and corporate financial policy, offering a comprehensive framework for the evaluation of earnings forecasting and R&D expenditure. Based on the authors' extensive real-world research on companies in the United States, Japan, and the other G7 countries, it illustrates the interdependence of R&D, capital investment, dividend, and new debt financing decisions and details financial modeling techniques for the determination and analysis of resource allocation.
R&D Management and Corporate Financial Policy offers an invaluable look at current corporate R&D practices, with important insights on how firms can meet the R&D challenge of their competitors. It also applies the results of the authors' research to security valuation and portfolio construction strategies. Offering a fresh perspective on R&D management and financial policy, this book is essential reading for corporate R&D specialists, strategic planning staff, and investment professionals.
