A US Small Business Administration publication, at
http://www.sba.gov/ADVO/stats/fact1.html
gives figures for the rate of return on R&D investment for 1997.  This
is the most recent information I have found so far.  The SBA report
states:
"The rate of return on R&D expenditures is 26 percent for both small
and large firms, but only 14 percent for firms not involved with a
university. The estimated rates of return on total R&D for firms with
a university relationship are 30 percent for large firms and 44
percent for small firms."
