Microbusinesses Spent $ 4.8 Billion on R & D Performance in the United States in 2016, According to New Survey
Small businesses contribute to the U.S. economy by bringing growth and innovation and by being more adaptable to changes in the economy. Although extensive research has been done on small businesses — sometimes defined as fewer than 250 or 500 employees — very little is known about microbusinesses, businesses with one to four employees. This InfoBrief provides new information on microbusinesses and their research and development activities, strategies, and drivers of competitiveness. Data are from the Microbusiness R&D and Innovation Survey, developed and cosponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering S...

PhD Researchers in the Business Sector : Domestic and Foreign Employment and Industry-Level Characteristics of Domestic R & D
R&D is performed globally by multinational enterprises ( MNEs ) and other businesses engaged in foreign investment or international trade. However, compared with other MNE activities, R&D by MNEs based in high-income countries is more concentrated in the home country. This InfoBrief presents new information on domestic versus foreign distribution of PhD researchers by U.S.-located companies that is consistent with these observations. Data are from the Business R&D and Innovation Survey, conducted by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the National Science Foundation and by the U.S. Census Bure...
