Innovation plays a vital role in the development of firms. The Chinese firms' research and development (RandD) investments have been quite high, so it is also very novel to study the efficiency of RandD investment of Chinese firms. There are 4975 Chinese listed firms and 274 Chinese concept firms listed in the United States considered to be analyzed. Chinese and American-listed firms were chosen for the research quotient (RQ) characteristics. Creatively researching the impact of COVID-19 on the research quotient. The results concluded that Chinese firms' revenue has effectively been improved by the firms' RandD expenditures. In addition, there was no evidence that large firms had greater RQ than small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Due to the effect of COVID-19, the RQ of all firms fell, but the effect in SMEs was significantly smaller than in large firms.

Innowacje odgrywają istotną rolę w rozwoju firm. Inwestycje chińskich firm w badania i rozwój (RandD) są dość wysokie, dlatego też bardzo nowatorskim podejściem jest badanie efektywności inwestycji w RandD chińskich firm. Do analizy brano pod uwagę 4975 chińskich firm notowanych na giełdzie oraz 274 chińskie firmy koncepcyjne notowane w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Chińskie i amerykańskie firmy giełdowe zostały wybrane ze względu na charakterystykę ilorazu badawczego (RQ). Kreatywne badanie wpływu COVID19 na iloraz badawczy. Wyniki wykazały, że przychody chińskich firm zostały skutecznie zwiększone dzięki wydatkom firm na RandD. Ponadto nie było dowodów na to, że duże firmy miały większy RQ niż małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa (MŚP). Biorąc pod uwagę wpływ COVID-19, RQ wszystkich firm spadł bez względu na ich wielkość, jednakże spadek RQ w MŚP był znacznie mniejszy niż w dużych firmach.
