Abstract

This study explores how corporate structure, R&D expenditures, and employee education affect financial performance in three major Chinese firmsHaier, Midea, and Greefrom 2017 to 2023. Using regression and correlation analysis, findings show that higher R&D
spending and employee education levels significantly boost revenue and profit. The research also identifies a positive feedback loop, where
profits fund further R&D, driving ongoing growth. This highlights the importance of continuous investment in R&D and education to sustain
competitive advantage and long-term success.
