institutions; It was not that the British had better science than did Belgium and Frace. It is very, very seldom that a monopoly on science alone has produce a tremendous spurt in sustaned ecnomic and soial dividends. Why is it that we do not read that lesson? According to Ralph Gomory: ... "pull" (b a company) consists of people who knw wha the need going out and looking for it -- and finding it -- in a vast universe, rather than asking outsiders who don't knw the company's situion to throw pieces at it. "Pull" is much more likely to succeed, moreover, because the burden of finding uses for research belongs not with universities but with the companies themselves. A strong science base...cannot ma up for inaquaies in the functioning of the development and manufacturing cycle (within companies). With these thoughts in mind, it may be useful to think of the university-industr alliances and competitiveness in the following manner. The university-industr alliances should be viewed as a new and creative way to contrbute to excellence in both academe and industry and not as the major national effort to solve our competitiveness problems. The nature of resech, of technology development, and of education is changing in many areas of science and engineering - -parcularly those areas -- electronics, biotechnology and materials, for example, which many of the alliances are forming. These changes may reflect the fact that boundaes between the underlying disciplines and between basic resech and applied resech are blurrng, advances in fundamenta knowledge are becoming relevant to tehnology development in the nea term, R&D is dependent on, and in some cases limited by, sophisticate and expensive instrmentation; taented scientists and engineers are in short supply, and product life cycles are becming shortr. Within ths environment, maintaning resech capacity at the frontiers of knowledge and maintaning technologica capacity at the frontiers of product and procss innovation require greater collaboration and interaction between academic and industral scientists and engineers than has been the norm. The emerging new alliances, therefore, are essential to maintaing the nation's scientific, tehnologica and educational base. To the extent that this base contrbutes to our international competitiveness, the alliances are an importt par of the strtegy. But, we know that the strategy for ecnomic competitiveness must include many other factors of equal and perhaps even greater importce. Strategic Role for Universities Finally, a word about universities. The alliances are makng their lives more complicate and more exciting. As pars of these new alliances, universities are assuming vi~ible and explicit strategic roles in state, federa and industral economic and tehnologica development programs. This has resulted in increase expetations put upon universities and in greater politica currency given to university affais, which in turn has produce both strs and benefits within the university community. Strns result from the differing views over the issue of universityindustr ties and by the increasing politica interest in universities for possible resech facilties 105
and progras. Benefits, on the other hand, come in the form of new state and industral investments in university programs and the excitement from working with new peple on new scientific and tehnica problems. Reaching the right balance in these forces on the universities wil require cae, nurturing and thoughtfulness by the universities themselves and by the patrons and policy makers that influence universities. 106
