In
this
day and age, it is commonly believed that businesses being the private units can conduct scientific
research
in the most effective way. In my perspective, I totally disagree with
this
viewpoint due to many reasons.
On the one hand, it is undeniable that letting private firms carry out
research
relating to science may have certain benefits.
Firstly
, in general, because the profit always may be the
first
concern of the companies, they can avoid wasting resources when conducting these kinds of
research
.
For instance
, when a company undertakes a
research
relating to demographics, they will calculate precisely and estimate the cost of the problems arising during the
research
process
such
as the fuel cost in order to commute to
destinations or human resource with a view to alleviating the company’s resources significantly.
Secondly
, thanks to these businesses which have done scientific
research
, the governments may relieve financial burdens.
Hence
, the nation leaders can allocate the state budget for other important purposes
such
as investing in infrastructures or enhancing the national military.
On the other hand
, I believe that
this
is not the most effective measure because there is another one being better.
First
of all, due to the
too much on profit, these companies can sell the
research
have found for other domestic units or even foreign nations for commercial goals.
Therefore
,
this
may seriously affect the national source of assets owing to the vital role of these
in supporting and boosting the economy.
Second
of all, rather than letting private companies conduct the scientific
research
, the authorities can take over
this
responsibility better. To be more specific, because of the huge amount of capital resulted from the public budget, the national governments will totally make use of various kinds of resources
such
as human and technology, which may lead to the more exact
results.
In conclusion, scientific
research
taken over by private companies may have a number of beneficial effects, but I am of the opinion that it is not the best option.
