Long-term Strategies
It is quite common to hear criticism of city institutions and large firms for failing to take
a long-term view of investment. The argument is that when a quick return on investment
is the prime aim long-term industrial development will suffer and we shall all end up the
poorer. Investment is seen as a good thing that should be encouraged, undertaken with
long-term developments in mind and maintained despite market hiccups. Well yes, but
one must also acknowledge that long-term investment and research are very difficult
things to control and that they require the discipline of constant economic monitoring.
Some research programmes can and have in the past got out of control, developing a
momentum of their own that has eventually led to the creation of a white elephant -

are two results of effective research that developed from an idea to its practical
realisation very quickly. More recently the development by the Japanese of domestic
VCR systems is another example of applied research producing quick results. It can be
done: the problem is in getting it done.
The British Association's annual meeting, held recently, had as its main theme putting
science to work. Many speakers were concerned with the relationship between
commercial firms and the research activities of the educational institutions. GEC's chief
scientist Dr Cyril Hilsum stressed the importance of market research in innovation,
something at which our Japanese competitors have always been particularly good. One
of the factors that has underpinned electronic development has been research into
materials. The development of the VCR depended on suitable tape becoming available,
and solving that problem took a great deal longer than devising the mechanics and
circuit techniques. The problem with early camera tubes was the lack of a suitable target
material. Materials technology has of course been vital to semiconductor development,
also to such things as producing mechanical parts with the best characteristics. But few

This is worth considering in more detail.
Any recurrent signal applied to a series RC combina-
tion yields two outputs - one across the resistor and the
other across the capacitor. When the output is taken from
the resistor the circuit is often referred to as a differentiat-
ing network because, if the time -constant is small com-
pared to the period of the input signal, the output
