The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship and examine the factors that are expected to influence a firms' corporate R & D strategy, namely board composition and firm's ownership structure. For board composition, this study is find out whether inside or outside directors influence the R & D spending.

The overall result of this study indicates that there is no significant relationship that exists between the board composition and firm's ownership structure on corporate R & D spending of a company. The overall implication of the result indicates that more than 90% of corporate R & D decisions are influenced by other factors unexplained in this study. The findings at 95% confidence level indicated that all null hypotheses cannot be accepted.
