    In the Industry research has a shorter time limit as there is time ticking and there is much more pressure on making it work as it has to be sold and make money otherwise the company is at a loss. In terms of time malmanagement there is always a deadline and if they realize the deadline cannot be met the plan is usually redone to compensate for that.in academia at the end of one’s research that kind of it. It either become the professors of the schools. My experience in Industry when research is done with something it moves to the next stage and could possible move back. Once research is done the product goes to product development and then eventually manufacturing. That give a layer to the success of the product. In industry research is not done to just get results, there is always a driving purpose to eventually make money. The step we would took would be to communicate with the other departments that contributes to the success of the product, by making sure all the necessary test is being carried out in the most efficient manner. Though when it gets to another department, the rate at which they work is out of the researchers hands.
