Abstract

As European economies rely more and more on know-how and technology, the importance of investment in research and development, especially from the private sector, is increasing. Private investment in research and development leads to innovation and the creation of know-how and technologies that can increase productivity, competitiveness and contribute to economic growth. Private investment in research and development is particularly important in dynamic sectors with high added value, such as the IT&C sector. Cloud computing is one of the most popular IT&C technologies in recent years, particularly because it bridges the gap between large and small and medium-sized companies in terms of IT&C infrastructure investment needs. Due to cloud computing, small companies can benefit from the same technology and infrastructure as the bigger ones, but at lower costs, without having to make large-scale investments in IT&C infrastructure elements such as: computing power, networks, data storage, specialized software products, etc. This paper analyzes the link between the intensity of investments in research and development (R&D), calculated as the share of research and development expenses made by companies in the business environment (business enterprise sector) in GDP or as a percentage of total research and development expenses, in relation to the adoption of cloud computing technology within companies in the Member States of the European Union. The research results indicate a direct and moderate relationship between the intensity of private R&D spending and the adoption of cloud computing technologies among companies in the Member States. This result can be attributed to both the increase in the overall digitization of the countries most active in terms of private R&D investment, as well as the need for affordable and strong IT&C infrastructure to maximize future returns and drive economic growth.

私营部门公司的研发投资对欧盟采用云计算服务的影响

随着欧洲经济越来越依赖专有技术和技术，研发投资的重要性日益增加，尤其是来自私营部门的投资。在研究和发展方面的私人投资导致创新和创造能够提高生产力、竞争力和促进经济增长的专门知识和技术。在具有高附加值的充满活力的部门，如信息和技术部门，研究和开发方面的私人投资尤为重要。云计算是近年来最流行的it和c技术之一，特别是因为它在it和c基础设施投资需求方面弥合了大型和中小型公司之间的差距。由于云计算，小公司可以从与大公司相同的技术和基础设施中受益，但成本更低，而不必在it和c基础设施要素上进行大规模投资，如:计算能力、网络、数据存储、专门的软件产品等。本文分析了研发(R&D)投资强度之间的联系，以企业在商业环境(商业企业部门)中研发费用占GDP的份额或占总研发费用的百分比计算，与欧盟成员国公司采用云计算技术有关。研究结果表明，私人研发支出强度与成员国公司采用云计算技术之间存在直接和适度的关系。这一结果可归因于在私人研发投资方面最活跃的国家整体数字化程度的提高，以及对负担得起的强大it和c基础设施的需求，以最大限度地提高未来回报并推动经济增长。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
