Abstract

Through the empirical study on 177 US manufacturing corporations, this paper analyzed the relationship between firms´ R&D intensity and corporate financial performance while taking into account the moderating effect of marketing activities. Our finding continually proved a negative relation between R&D intensity and corporate performance, meanwhile, the lagged impact of integrated effect between R&D intensity and advertising intensity for firms´ performance. Some significant interaction could also be found that advertising could significantly moderate the relationship between R&D intensity and firms´ financial performance.
