I'm looking for any information related to "New Technology". In
particular, I'd like to know how the different major industries (e.g.
oil&gas, electronics, pharmaceutical, chemical, computing, etc etc)
compare,
with respect to the deployment or sale of new technology services and
products
respectively as a percentage of their total annual revenue base (i.e.
vs. old
technology). Actual revenue figures would be useful in addition to
percentages. I would also like to compare different companies (e.g.
top-20 or top-50 blue-chips) as well as different industries and I'm
particularly interested in the oil&gas service company sector (e.g.
Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes Inteq, Weatherford, Precision
Drilling etc...). These figures should be expressed annually for at
least yr 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 but
ideally would like stats for the last 10 years.
In addition to comparing "New Technology" vs. "Old Technology"
revenues & percentages in different industries, blue-chip companies
and oil&gas service companies, I'm interested in what these different
industries and companies spend each year on "Reasearch and
Development" (R&D) or "Research and Engineering" (R&E). These numbers
typically appear in annual reports and I'd like last 10 years data if
possible, at least from the major oil&gas operator companies and
oil&gas service companies but ideally from other blue-chip companies
and industry figures as well.
If any companies have as their "motto" or corporate policy some
significant link to "new technology" then please highlight this and
provide
details. For instance, "3M" used to have the word "innovate" in their
advertisments and they have a policy that more than 50% of their
revenue should come from "new technology"...their definition of NT
being products and services commercialised within the last 5 (or 3?)
years only. In fact they would fire VP's if their particular business
unit did not achieve this. Any other specific "definitions" of new
technology from
various compaines would be very useful.
