Abstract
IT is unnecessary to stress the vital importance of research in the development of industry. It would be admitted generally that the intensive application of the scientific method is necessary in order that British manufactures may compete successfully with foreign goods and increasing exports lead to the mitigation of the terrible evil of present unemployment. Although the business application of economic laws is leading to the merging of commercial organisations with a view to the elimination of waste by unification of method, so far economic considerations have not been applied so extensively to scientific and technological research.
