Abstract

This article studied the correlation between R&D investment and the profitability of hightech industries. It was found that a strengthened emphasis on R&D investment improved the efficiency of enterprises, gave full play to the endogenous role of enterprises, and enhanced the scientific and technological talent resources and core competitiveness of those enterprises. The research method used was literary research and focused on two main points. First, by increasing research and development investment, enterprises can achieve technological innovation and differentiation advantages, form technical barriers, and continuously expand market share while reducing production costs and improving production efficiency, thus improving profitability. Second, researchers bring increased knowledge and cutting-edge technology to the company, thus improving product quality, increasing market share, and increasing the net cash flow of operating activities. Enterprises should strive to maintain a certain quality of patent rights and protection system, and preventing imitations can also become an effective way to increase profits. The results show that the correlation and influence factors between R&D investment and profitability can improve the competitiveness of hightech industries and achieve long-term development.
