Management of R and D Institutions and Self-Reliance

Now that the government is demanding, and rightly so, that R and D institutions and industry contribute to national development in a positive manner, ii is necessary to undertake strategic long-term planning for both industry and R and D institutions. This would involve the definition of objectives and tasks, assignment of specific roles, and the establishment of appropriate linkages between R and D institutions and industry as a general policy. Without such strategic planning, R and D activities will tend to become diffuse.
