On sufficient conditions for research success

Sufficient conditions for research success result from securing effectiveness of research. This should be assured by effective project selection, provided a link can be established between research and the future applications of its results in new products or new processes. As can be seen in Table 5, not all fields of research are of identical relevance to industry. While we have already dealt with literature indicating a relationship between basic industrial research and productivity increases, we shall here use a different line of approach.
