Interviewer instructions
The term R&D or research and development refers to a specific group of activities that a business chooses to conduct- either in-house or by contracting other companies- with the intention of making a discovery that can either lead to the development of new products or service or procedures, or to improvement of existing products or service or procedures. Note that engaging in market research surveys is NOT considered to be R&D.
