Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Research in Industry: The Basis of Economic Progress
An attempt has been made in this book to consider the nature Of research and its application to the progressive development of industry, and to indicate the manner in which existing research resources may be placed at the disposal Of industry, thereby affording guidance to indus trial managers in determining the most effective manner of dealing with their manufacturing and other problems. Recent tendencies towards co-operative action for the conduct Of research, notably instanced by the formation of Research Associations in Great Britain, are examined, together with the conditions under which a works research organization may be established. The internal organiza tion, design, staffing, equipment, cost, and direction of research laboratories for industry, and their relations to national, university, and private laboratories are outlined. The progress made in the world-wide movement towards the foundation of research institutions is brie?y considered.
