The recurrence of problems in connection with research and development (R and D) activities supported by the Audio-Visual Center of Indiana University led to the development of a proposed control system. This paper lists those problems and examines the assumptions which must be met by the control system--that the Center will support all types of R…

Nine papers illustrate the management considerations that arise in programmatic research and development in education and indicate how these considerations have been handled in one situation. (Author)
