establishing combined Productivity and Industrial Development
Institutes were held in all cases primarily with governments, with
industry and trade groups acting in advisory roles. Resulting

functions and which incorporated productivity improvement in
Industrial Development Centers or Institutes. The Institute
activities ranged from in-country surveys to promotion and
assistance for new and existing industries. Lengthy planning was
