Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An industrial company is more likely to employ individuals who specialize in applied research that can bring direct benefits to the company. Developing alternative fuel sources is a practical and relevant area of research for many industrial companies. Identifying a new species of beetle, studying novel proteins involved in a neurological disease, or documenting fossils are all important research topics, but they may not necessarily be applicable to an industrial company's objectives.
