✦ Synopsis

Ahstrad-Usmg a systems model of the petrochemical mdustry It IS shown that new petrochemlcat processes are more likely candidates for success If their mtroductton would result In better resource use by the Industry as a whole This pnnctple IS then used to estimate the relative probabdkty of success for four recently developed processes Such studies may be useful In modelrng the tong-range development of the Industry and may assist the Industry In setting long-range research and development goals lNTRoDucTloN
