Most companies focus on long-term knowledge building and productivity of teams
EFESO partnered with Chemical Week to survey 53 chemical industry innovation and research & development executives to measure satisfaction with product innovation & value management at their companies.
The survey results found that chemical makers are generally satisfied with the financial return of R&D investment. The main frustration that most respondents agreed on was not the return on R&D investments, but the amount of time it takes to get innovation to market.
