“…It must make a significant contribution to the future well‐being of the industry or organisation and not be an embarrassment to the organisation’s resources. Furthermore, the project leader’s involvement should not be concluded until the benefits of the research have been fully exploited [24]. The major objective for the introduction of new technology, and therefore for R&D, was often seen as being to reduce unit production cost and thereby to increase profitability.…”

Although initially lagging behind the USA, the amount and quality of research and development carried out in the UK can be compared favourably with that from other major world countries. The industrial research association, although a well‐conceived concept to increase research and development efforts that gave significant results, was disappointing for several reasons. A major problem has been the dissemination, exploitation and commercialisation of research results. The activities of research organisations need to be reviewed regularly, as they may have a relatively short lifespan. The intermediate research and technology sector, given adequate support, may be the vehicle for better utilisation of research and development results.

“…Research and development in the textile industry is essential for its continuing success, even with a mature industry and in times of recession [21]. A practical approach was given for selecting and controlling the best research programme [22], which indicated that projects relevant to the practical operation of the industry were difficult to find. Management of all the aspects of textile research was extensively reviewed [23].…”

The authors have been avid readers and regular contributors to the SDC journals over a number of decades. Despite this allegiance, they question whether the large volume of useful technology that has been published was adequately read and implemented. Much more information has been published than can ever be used. Wider exploitation of the literature could have avoided or alleviated many of the problems currently suffered by various sectors of the coloration industry. A number of authors over the decades have questioned the resources devoted to education.

The Evaluation and Administration of Research

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to explain how a system for the evaluation and administration of research and development can be set up in an organisation. It presents a practical approach to the problem of selecting the best research programme and then controlling it.
