There are many differences between doing research in academic and industry. I have had experienced both during my career. Amount of time given to the research in industry may not be as comparable to academics. However, proper structure in industry drives efficiency with the amount of time provided.

There were many factors that insured that I was successful with the end product. One of the factor was the funding for the research in industry. The flow of work is not interrupted in industry to wait for the funding to come by. Whereas in academics, professor’s rhythm is interrupted to write grants and visit funding agencies.
