R&D spending is a major component of intangible investments from "summary" of Capitalism without Capital by Jonathan Haskel,Stian Westlake

Research and development (R&D) spending plays a crucial role in the realm of intangible investments. When we think of investments, we often picture tangible assets like buildings or machinery. However, in today's economy, intangible assets have taken center stage. These assets, such as intellectual property, software, and branding, are increasingly vital for companies seeking to remain competitive in the market. R&D spending is a significant component of intangible investments because it involves the creation of new knowledge and ideas. Companies that invest in R&D are essentially investing in their future growth and innovation capabilities. By allocating resources to R&D activities, firms can develop new products, services, and processes that set them apart from their competitors. Moreover, R&D spending is not just about developing new products or technologies; it also involves improving existing ones. Through continuous R&D efforts, companies can enhance the quality and efficiency of their offerings, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. This ongoing cycle of innovation and improvement is essential for businesses looking to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market landscape. In today's knowledge-based economy, the value of intangible assets like R&D spending cannot be overstated. These assets contribute to a company's long-term success and sustainability by fostering innovation, driving growth, and enhancing competitiveness. As such, companies that prioritize R&D as a key component of their investment strategy are better positioned to thrive in an increasingly intangible-driven economy.
