With competition intensifying and product life cycles becoming shorter, one key to competitive success is the ability to continuously create new products and services. It is the field of research and development (known as R&D) that is primarily responsible for developing innovative new product and service ideas. R&D activities focus on creating and developing (but not producing) the organizations outputs. On occasion, R&D also creates new production methods by which outputs, either new or old, may be produced. Research itself is typically divided into two types: pure and applied. Pure research is simply working with basic technology to develop new knowledge. Applied research is attempting to develop new knowledge along particular lines. For example, pure research might focus on developing a material that conducts electricity with zero resistance, whereas applied research could focus on further developing this material to be used in products for customers. Development is an attempt to utilize the findings of research and expand the possible applications, often consisting of modifications or extensions to existing outputs to meet customers interests.
