- Abstract
From the Introduction, pdf page 8: "As an instrument of change, CSIRO has continually interpreted its role in the light of perceived industry, national, and community needs, and its organisational structure and management practices have evolved in accordance with changes required to meet these needs. The establishment, by the Commonwealth Government, of an Independent Inquiry into CSIRO to examine, inter alia, the extent to which the Organization retained the flexibility to respond to the changing needs of society in the years ahead was none the less welcomed by tho.se responsible for managing the Organization. The Inquiry came at a time when CSIRO was already undergoing a period of critical self-examination and review and thus provided an opportunity for the Executive to submit its proposals to external scrutiny and to obtain independent views on a course of action for the future."
