Research and development work usually are regarded as highly technical subjects and generally are so treated, but it is recognized that management has a very definite interest in their influence on technical progress, particularly in the industrial fields. This article is presented with this point in mind, and various suggestions and illustrations are offered as to how this kind of activity may be stimulated and more effectively controlled.
