Any company might not be able to function well if there is no research departments in it. The motive of the research departments should be the sole purpose to conduct research about the company, to assess its progress, to assess the progress of its rivals, to evaluate the past performance of the company, to identify th weaknesses and challenges of the company or its product, and thereby finding out new ways to improve the faults and make optimum use of the resources available. Not only this, if the company has research departments, it can regularly fid ways to the alternatives which can be used by the company and this way it can help in reducing the cost incurred by the company, improving technologies and techniques, improving the quality of staff and increasing the turnover of the company.

The research departments can also publish good research in the reputable academic journals as it will give insights to people about what all the company is doing. If the research undertaken is regarding the behavior of people, or regarding environment, or introduction of some new technology then it will help people to increase their awareness and change their behavior patterns. It will also help the budding researchers to conduct a good literature review and conduct good research which will help in betterment and development on the Middle East and rest of the world.

Yes, of course.We are living in the 21st century for a farsighted company establishment of Research Department is of paramount requirement.Becausewith this establishment in place improved and new methods of doing things either in engineering,medical,arospace,food etc will be created and discovered. These not only bring in revenue but it also improve the country's living standards and the world at large.

After acheiving these they should published all these research in a reputable academic journals to let the world know that they discovered and created something to claim ownership.

Purpose of Research departments in companies is to bring valuable solutions or value added products or valuable knowledge to the organisation if the same results in articles getting published then it is great. But to establish department for said purpose would be foolish.

Nope. Research means to find the solution to a problem. So, this should be done for the purpose to get the answer not for publication but for the betterment of hummanity.

Every company should aim to publish academic material. In the Middle East, I think it is very crucial for research to be practiced because contemporarily, the Middle East is the center of world crisis. Scientific and objective research spreads awareness, knowledge, and solutions to all issues and topics. Little by little, research will have a positive effect on the Middle East in particular, and on the world in general.

It is important for the companies to start research departments but merged with development departments to ensure the growth of the companies while disseminating information to the general public through trusted media.

Middle east companies should establish research departments in every field as these departments will help them to grow their skills products and experties they will shape there future policies and will help them to see the market around a good reserch is necessary for systemic upgrade and it will introduce new methods and technologies that will be beneficial in getting desired results.

If good research means conducting research with ethical standards then yes, it will benefit the journal's audience seeking information. However, since the company does more than just research, the company's benefit would be to combine the research department with a development department to further improve its service to the public.

Any company commited to growth should significantly invest in research and development (R&D) through establishing dedicated teams.

This won't just assist in product development and shaping the company's future policy orientation, but will also demonstrate the company's expertise in subject matters.

Research generally prompts discovery of niches therefore prompting innovation and creativity.
