Overview of Plunkett's Engineering & Research Industry coverage |
Global research collaboration is booming, as is patenting-it is next to impossible for patent authorities in the U.S. to keep up with demand. Globalization and cross-national collaboration have such a dramatic effect on research and design that about one-half of all patents granted in America list at least one non-U.S. citizen as a coinventor. Major U.S. universities, like the University of Texas and the University of Wisconsin, are eager to patent their inventions and to reap the benefits of technology transfer and commercialized research. For example, Stanford University earned more than $43 million from licensed technologies during 2003 alone.
Historically, corporate America's dollars were spent at labs within the bounds of the U.S., but today, more and more projects are going to company-owned and outsourced labs overseas. The outsourcing and offshoring of research and engineering projects are booming to say the least. Due to low costs and large talent pools (including large numbers of new graduates with engineering and scientific degrees), the nations of China and India in particular are attracting more and more of the research dollars invested by U.S. and European companies.
This reference book (and related Online Research Center) is a complete guide to the trends and leading companies in engineering, research, design, innovation and development business fields: those firms that are dominant in engineering-based design and development, as well as those that are dominant in technology-based research and development.
We have included companies that are making significant investments in research and development via as many disciplines as possible, whether that research is being funded by internal investment, by fees received from clients or by fees collected from government agencies.
In this carefully-researched volume, you'll get all of the data you need on the American Engineering & Research Industry, including: engineering market analysis, complete industry basics, trends, research trends, patents, intellectual property, funding, research and development data, growth companies, investments, emerging technologies, CAD/CAE/CAM, and more.
The book also contains major statistical tables covering everything from total U.S. R and D expenditures to the total number of scientists working in various disciplines, to U.S. government grants for research.
Our carefully-researched book/CD-ROM package, and our Online Research Center are complete engineering and research competitive intelligence tools-- everything you need to know about the business of engineering, design, technologies, R&D and more, including:
- Trends in patents, patenting, licensing, technology transfer and intellectual property
- Trends in research budgets and funding, including private, government and corporate funding
- Offshoring and outsourcing of research, development, engineering and design to nations such as India, Russia and China
- Original Design Manufacturing (ODM)
- Research endeavors in the fields of aerospace, chemicals, energy, nanotechnology, electronics, computers, software, peripherals, health care, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and telecommunications
- How the Internet is affecting research and development collaboration and globalization
- Profiles of leading information technology research organizations, such as Apple, Intel and Microsoft
- Profiles of leading global engineering, research and architecture firms
- Profiles of leading aerospace firms, including Boeing, BAE and Airbus
- Profiles of leading firms in petrochemicals research and alternative energy, such as ExxonMobil, Ballard Power Systems and Chevron Technology Ventures
- Profiles of leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology research companies, such as Genentech and Aventis
- A discussion of research partnerships and collaboration between the private sector, universities and government
