Research and Development versus Marketing and Public Relations R&D - aims at objectively verifiable, replicable products that can stand up to scrutiny by other independent observers and customers, Marketing - tries to please all parties by essentially telling them what they want to hear and appealing to their basic emotions Usually, these two functions are carried out by different people, and there often is a ‘firewall’ between the two groups, who tend to disrespect each others efforts. Both are needed, though, for any initiative to survive.
Research and Development versus Marketing and Public Relations Generally the R&D group will feel uncomfortable by the way all their nuances and caveats are removed while messages are simplified by the PR group. The PR group may feel that the R&D group stands in the way of its own success, keeps shooting itself in the foot and is wasting money and resources.
