This book draws important lessons from the early days of industrial research in America.

'This is likely to be for many years the definitive work on the origins of industrial research in the United States. Reich forcefully demonstrates what can be done when entrepreneurial history is successfully integrated with the history of science and technology. His research has been exhaustive and the analysis is outstanding.' Hugh G. J. Aitken, Amherst College

'Leonard Reich's book is absolutely first-rate. Its publication marks an important new beginning in the long-neglected history of industrial research. Based upon extensive research in the archives of the Bell and G. E. labs, Professor Reich shows that industrial research laboratories are integral, indeed vital, components in corporate strategy. His book therefore is a connecting link between business and managerial history and the history of technology. It is a characteristic of original scholarship that it does more than add new facts and answer old questions; rather it raises a new set of highly relevant and interesting questions which then serve as guides to later scholars. This is precisely what Professor Reich has done.' Edwin Layton, University of Minnesota
