Abstract

ABSTRACTThe development of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) is examined in terms of the control and supervision of research. The original concept in 1926 was for a department headed by an administrator and tasked with maintaining and administering various research laboratories and investigations, with scientific supervision by outside committees. But external oversight of research was progressively reduced and by the 1970s DSIR had evolved into a department of science undertaking research in its own institutes, led and controlled by its own scientists.
