Abstract
This study explores how corporate R&D impacts the conversion of intellectual property into intangible assets. Analyzing data from 2009 to 2022 across 6,487 observations from Chinese A-share listed companies, regression models examine R&D's influence, with moderating variables considered. Results consistently show a significant positive correlation between R&D investment and innovation propensity (p < 0.001). The overhead rate positively moderates this relationship, while ownership balance and employee density negatively moderate it. These findings highlight the crucial role of R&D in fostering innovation and emphasize the impact of strategic resource allocation and organizational structures on innovative outcomes.
