Although I believe that both types of research are equally important, I believe that doing research that will lead to an immediate result is better because you need to make sure that your investments pay off. Doing research that is meant to benefit later on is somewhat risky because, as time goes on, some things can change like you may not get enough funding or some of your employees or co-workers won’t be able to help you with your research. Focusing on research that will lead to a product/service that will benefit your generation is practical and more important because it will yield results that will hopeful keep you going. Ultimately, it’s important for you to make sure that you can deliver profits so focusing on areas that will take less time is more beneficial.
