Original Abstract

This paper investigates and explores the role of company ownership in relation to R&D expenditure. For this purpose we have studied data from a survey conducted annually by the Czech Statistical Office. The period from 2007 till 2013 was examined. An initial analysis of R&D expenditures was performed based on two sample t-test and segmentation techniques. We tested casual relationships between total R&D expenditure and company ownership. In order to provide some degree of control over the size of the organizations and the type of industry, only manufacturing companies with more than 50 employees were considered. A total of 882 manufacturing companies were found to satisfy this criterion. We found that during this period there was a significant change in expenditure structure. Before 2009 the share of investment expenditure dominated, while after 2010 the situation changed and so did the share of current expenditure, especially due to the proportion of labor costs.
