Business historians have shown the importance of industrial research in the process of innovation. Most have focused on the industrial research departments themselves. Less attention has been paid to the position of these departments within research networks outside the firm. This article explores the story of networking at the Dutch company of Phillips & Co. during the interwar period. Gilles Holst, director of Phillip's Research Department at the time, became involved in an agricultural research network that comprised growers, university scientists, and the Dutch government. These networks were essential for Phillip's success and provided an opportunity for the company's researchers to keep in touch with scientific circles.
LOS ANGELES - Scientists have isolated a bacterium from the gut of Australian Tammar wallabies that allows them to consume and digest grasses, leaves and other plant material without producing copious amounts of methane, as cattle do. The microbe was discovered through a process described in a study published online Thursday by the journal Science. Ultimately, it might be put to use to reduce the carbon footprint of cows and other ruminants, said study co-author Mark Morrison, a microbial biologist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in St. Lucia, Queensland.
Hydrodec was a spinoff of an eight-year industrial research and development program implemented by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and the Australian power industry. Hattiesburg was chosen as one of the Top 10 college towns to retire too because of its emphasis on quality of life, arts and culture combined with excellent healthcare and a reasonable cost of living.
WASHINGTON - Just days after the Nobel prize was awarded for global warming work, an alarming new study finds that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing faster than expected. Carbon dioxide emissions were 35 percent higher in 2006 than in 1990, a much faster growth rate than anticipated, researchers led by Josep G. Canadell, of Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, report in today's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Industrial ecology is a rapidly developing field of research and practice in which the sustainability of industrial systems is thought to be improved through closing of material and energy loops among firms. In this paper, I look at the developing practice around this concept from a self-organization perspective. A central question is the extent to which closing of material loops has to be planned and guided by governmental agencies. Based on a longitudinal case study of industrial ecology development in the Rotterdam harbor area (the Netherlands), the interplay between self-organization, external control, and vision development is analyzed.
Just a few decades ago, AT&T's Bell Labs occupied the summit of industrial research. On a sprawling New Jersey site that resembled an academic campus more than a commercial laboratory, the organization's staffers not only produced breakthrough technologies for telecommunications but such key advances in fundamental physics as demonstration of the wave nature of matter and discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Bell Labs continues to focus its research on innovation that will define communications in the 21st century. What enables them to achieve this level of sustained impact over such a period of time is their commitment to excellence in research that can be leveraged into disruptive advances in communications and information networks. To achieve such excellence, t...
