"Reputation management is an important factor in attracting partners and external funding. From interviews with CEOs and CTOs of nine large industrial and publicly funded firms, we have a clear indication that a corporate R&D lab's well-managed reputation has a direct impact on the firm's brand value. In other words, corporate research labs should not be measured only by their technological outcome, but also by the impact they have on a firm's brand value," according to Gassman et al., 2009, Research Technology Management, "R&D Reputation and Corporate Brand Value."

We said, 'What makes the United States such a great nation?' and we investigated and found that it was patents, and we will have patents."
