Content and structure area
Scope and content
These files, created by the Industry Development Division of the Industry Department, include a large quantity of records of two Banks studies: the 1975 survey of Korean exporting firms and a study of the acquisition of technology capabilities of developing nations. There are manuals and background information regarding software developed by Bank personnel - especially Software for Industrial Trade and Incentives Analysis ( SINTIA and SINTIA T). The series of Reference Materials Regarding Industry Development Issues includes articles and reports regarding Russian defense conversion and industrial restructuring.
The INCA records document the work of a small unit established in August 1981 within the Strategy and Policy Division (INDSP) that conducted Incentives and Comparative Advantage (INCA) studies in the Ivory Coast and a dozen other countries. The unit had completed most of its work by 1984
Appraisal, destruction and scheduling
During the years 1970-1986 the official files of the Industry Development Sector were kept by the Non-Regional Information Center; these records are part of the Central Files, 1946-1986 fonds. Many offices kept separate working files, however, and the working files of the Industry Development Sector make up the records in this fonds, along with records created after 1986.
