When sharing secrets makes sense

Abstract

With popular opinion continuing to believe that Britain gives its inventors a raw deal, Bill Makinson — managing director of the National Research Development Corporation — makes the challenging claim that no idea turned down by his agency has been exploited successfully abroad. But that is not to say that British inventions should be kept from the hands of foreign rivals, as Makinson explains here.
