About R&D funding in HP

[cyrille de brébisson]

Hello,

30 years ago, the calcualtor division had close to 100 Enginers... And it took them years to come up with products like the HP 28.

Now days, a handfull of people can turn out a HP Prime is way less time.

Development technics have drasticaly improved, allowing the engineers to be more productive over time, which might explain the graph. HP is also selling more of any single product, improving the revenue per engineer.
