Abstract: | Akzo NV is the fourth largest company in the Netherlands and a significant force in the chemical industry. Three years ago the company launched a program in research and development (R&D) in the United States, with the cooperation of a group of universities. The program has delivered significant benefits to the company, principally the interaction between internal and external R&D programs. Besides identifying talented people for future recruitment, the program helps to ensure a stream of new products, applications, and processes for the company's business units. |
