Abstract

R&D strategies play a decisive role in the promotion of enterprise innovation output and innovation ability. In order to thoroughly investigate the R&D strategies of iron and steel enterprises, an R&D strategy analysis framework based on R&D semantic topic analysis and outlier behavior detection was proposed. Additionally, empirical research on R&D layout and direction, R&D quality, and the achievement maintenance strategy of enterprises, from both macro and micro perspectives, was conducted. The feasibility of the R&D strategy analysis framework was verified. Additionally, the results show that, in terms of R&D topic layout strategy, most enterprises adopted a stable maintenance strategy after quickly completing the layout; regarding the R&D focus strategy, most enterprises focused on R&D fields and carried out strategic management; for R&D quality control strategy, some enterprises adopted a strategy of prolonging the duration of invention patents, and high-quality outputs with a long lifetime were developed rapidly. These research results have reference value for Chinese enterprises, to adjust their R&D strategies, and for the government, to formulate supporting policies.
