标题：Analysis of the correlation between the companies’ investment in research, development and profitability, and the countries’ competitiveness and innovation capability
摘要：This study aims at analyzing the correlation between R ii) Tukey’s post-hoc test, to identify the position of the meaningful differentials. Four hypotheses were raised to analyze the interest correlations. After applying ANOVA in the correlations, it was possible to see that none of them were statistically significant. This study’s finding showed that the companies which invest the most in R&D and the most profitable ones are not necessarily located in countries that are the most competitive and which have the highest innovation capability scores, which goes against some studies that stated that company innovations are important for the development of the country where they are located. The fact the hypotheses were not confirmed makes the study relevant, for it confirms that new studies on companies’ innovation and competitiveness in the countries must be carried out.
