The median budget spent on in-house research and development by private companies in fiscal year 2017 decreased by 8.3% compared to the previous year, but the average increased by 3.6%, according to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's National Institute of Science and Technology Policy. I found out in the investigation.Large companies with capital of 10 billion yen or more are supporting the growth, but companies with capital of less than 10 billion yen have both average and median declines, suggesting that they cannot afford to devote their budget to research and development.
According to the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the average value of in-house R & D expenses for the 2017 fiscal year is 23 yen, and the median is 703 yen.Compared to the previous year, the median decreased by 1 million yen, but the average increased by 8,876 million yen.
資本金額別で分類すると、1億円以上10億円未満の企業は平均値2億2,426万円、中央値6,970万円、10億円以上100億円未満は平均値9億6,297万円、中央値2億6,470万円、100億円以上は平均値116億4,395万円、中央値22億8,563万円。前年度に比べ、10億円以上の企業は平均値、中央値とも増えたが、10億円未満の企業はいずれも減少している。
In-house R & D expenses increased from the previous year to 51.2% of the total.Companies with capital of 1 million yen or more and less than 10 billion yen accounted for 49.5%, and companies with capital of 10 billion yen or more and less than 100 billion yen accounted for 49.4%, while companies with capital of 10 billion yen or more reached 59.9%. I'm pulling up the data.
On the other hand, the average value of external expenditure R & D expenses was 13 million yen, which was higher than the previous year's 5,015 million yen, but the median was 12 million yen, which was lower than the previous year's 3,270 million yen.
Regarding R & D, the percentage of companies hiring new graduates was 48.7%, an increase of 11.0 points from the previous survey.The recruitment of doctoral graduates (new graduates) is steadily increasing.The percentage of hires for master's and bachelor's degrees increased significantly, while the percentage of mid-career hires decreased.Regarding the impression after hiring, the percentage of respondents who answered that they "exceeded expectations" was the highest among those who completed the doctoral course (9.6%), followed by postdoctoral experience (7.0%).
Regarding collaboration with other organizations, about 76% of companies responded that they have collaborated with other organizations in the research and development of major industries over the past three years (FY3-FY2015), and that they collaborate with universities in Japan. The ratio of companies is the highest.This was followed by "large companies," both of which accounted for more than 2017%.
