Impact on the Industry[edit | edit source]

Furthermore, the absorption of smaller, niche companies into larger entities sometimes resulted in the discontinuation of less profitable but vital research projects.

The lessons learned from the disestablishments of 1996 have informed current practices, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning, diversification, and the potential benefits and drawbacks of industry consolidation.
