| Abstract: | Developing countries see science and technology as keys to their modernization. In both agricultural and industrial production, however, science and technology often do not seem to be linked effectively with the needs of the productive organizations. A United Nations Panel recently considered this subject. The principal choices turn on designing and managing R&D programs, building the crucial communications channels among technical staffs in R&D vis-a-vis users and producers, establishing incentives in the country's overall economic pattern, and analyzing the roles of the public and private sectors. |
