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 ChevronTexaco 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
- Software and other technology advancements
for research, engineering, modeling and design
You'll find a complete engineering, research
and technology innovation overview, industry analysis and
market research report in one superb, value-priced package.
This book also includes statistical tables, an engineering
and research industry glossary, R&D industry contacts
and thorough indexes. The corporate profile section of the
book includes our proprietary, in-depth profiles of the
375 leading companies in all facets of the engineering and
research business. This book is available in printed, eBook
and online versions. Purchasers of print book or eBook versions
will receive a free copy of the companies database on CD-ROM.
