Abstract
My purpose in this discussion today is really two-fold — I have a dual agenda: It is to develop a dialogue on the specifics and interrelationships of the impact, critical issues and future challenges in the area of polymeric materials science and engineering and relate this to the implications of the globalization of technology and the resulting new demands on the R&D organization in an international corporation like Hoechst.
