The industrial processes in use today were developed at a time when no one had to consider what the environmental impact was. Who cared? But making ecological concerns matter to a company's bottom line will help it do the research and development that will reinvent everything we buy.
Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it
In a broader sense, research and development may include basic research, applied research, and experimental development.
In a business context, research and development is a long-term investment in a company’s future.
It is also a corporate strategy that seeks to create new sources of competitive advantage for a company at the market level. Although the term “research and development” is often used interchangeably with the term “science,” science is just one component of R&D.
No research without action, no action without research
The wise man doesn’t give the right answers, he poses the right questions. The great end of life is not knowledge but action. Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
