One conclusion was that there was no correlation between research and development (R&D) spending and successful innovation. On the other hand, a group of companies reported above-average results from their innovation processes across a variety of performance measures. These “high-leverage innovators” include Toyota, Apple, Christian Dior, Google, Caterpillar, and many others.
