Reprint And Circular Series Of The National Research Council Vol 12

Excerpt from Reprint and Circular Series of the National Research Council, Vol. 12: Industrial Research 6. Finally, a most important point, not to be lost sight of in the organization of a successful industrial research department, is the fact that many very capable men trained for industrial research are essentially devoid of certain commercial attributes. Many of them, for instance, fail to realize that on a large number of their problems time is an essential element in the work, while others fail to give due weight to that phase of the work which lies between the completion of the research activity and the introduction of the results into commercial manufacture or employment under modern conditions where the day-byoday control must, of necessity, be largely in the hands of those who are not highly trained skilled workers. For this reason it is essential that whoever is responsible for the direction and success of the industrial research under taking should be a man with a broad outlook, a full appreciation of all of the factors of the business problem and a man who can sympathize with and appreciate the varying points of view which he encounters and who can harmonize all of the activities into a smooth-working machine.
