ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1109/TEM.2004.839943 | Abstract: | Firm spending on innovation and marketing, as measured by research and development (R&D) and advertising expenses, respectively, are expected to yield positive returns in terms of share price performance. Given resource limitations, firms prioritize the quantum of their investments in R&D and advertising vis-à-vis other investments. We examine the relationship between firm performance and the intensity of their investments in R&D and advertising over an extended period covering 40 years and 15039 firm-years. Our findings are consistent with the resource-based literature. Specifically, we find that intensive investment in R&D contributes positively to the one-year stock market performances of manufacturing firms but not for nonmanufacturing firms. We also find that intensive investment in advertising contributes positively to the one-year stock market performances of nonmanufacturing firms. For the three-year stock market performance, in addition to the findings of the one-year period, we find inconclusive evidence that manufacturing firms benefit from investment in advertising. The interactions of R&D and advertising intensities are insignificant in explaining the stock market performance of the firms except for the three-year horizon for nonmanufacturing firms, which is significantly negative. Consistent with the resource-based literature, this implies that firm performances are diluted when they invest their resources in activities outside their core competence. © 2005 IEEE. | Source Title: | IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/44490 | ISSN: | 00189391 | DOI: | 10.1109/TEM.2004.839943 |
