Business Outlook
Pros
Good support when the overall economic environment is good. Huge institutes with access to the most advanced scientific instruments. Good opportunities for collaborative research.
Cons
Critical scientific decisions still made with heavy administrative and political influences. Many higher level administrators do not have sufficient scientific knowledge to make strategic decisions that benefit science. Many bureaucratic rules and policies that impede scientific progress.
