The main purpose of this study is to investigate and understand the evolutionary characteristics of industrial research in Italy in recent years. There is a vast amount of literature which discusses factors and areas of change in industrial research, based on empirical analysis conducted in the most industrialized countries. Nevertheless, to date, there are no empirical studies to evaluate the recent changes which have occurred in the specific Italian context. Using a sample of 80 Italian companies, this work aims to investigate the elements which have characterized the evolution of R&D in recent years; finally, the main changes in term of programmes, content, organization and management can be derived.

Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to investigate and understand the evolutionary characteristics of industrial research in Italy in recent years. There is a vast amount of literature which discusses factors and areas of change in industrial research, based on empirical analysis conducted in the most industrialized countries. Nevertheless, to date, there are no empirical studies to evaluate the recent changes which have occurred in the specific Italian context. Using a sample of 80 Italian companies, this work aims to investigate the elements which have characterized the evolution of R&D in recent years; finally, the main changes in term of programmes, content, organization and management can be derived.
