Samenvatting

Industrial research has come under pressure. Will recent budget cuts reduce competitiveness? Based on interviews in Japanese and European high-tech firms it is shown that research supports important potentials. These can be used for project funding, location decisions, and an analysis of sufficient conditions for research success. Careful management of the potentials should improve future competitiveness, and it should help to understand why industrial firms benefit from research and how.
