text: Index of work performed by a complex creative group Is the submission of completed developments to the customer In present time. After termination of Its assignment the group Is either dissolved or reformed for new assignment. Major advantages of compelx cratlve groups consist In the following: -such groups comprise of special lsts of alI organizations directly working on a given problem which makes it possible to cut down financial, material-technical, time and labour expenses during Industrial mastering of new technology as alI requirements of the participating organizations are taken Into account; -the work programme of complex creative groups Is approved by the ministry Interested In resolving a given problem which el lmlnates many difficulties when the results are being Intro­ duced In production process. Using this form of ties the academic Institutes receive the posslbll lty of approving the scientific research results under Industrial conditions, studying the specificity of production and concrete conditions of application of the fund<..nental research results. In Industry It allows to accelerate reorientation towards the solution of concrete tasks In the field of new tech­ nology development, to shorten the time of Introduction of new Ideas In production, to raise scientific-technical level and qualification of personnel. This form of ties acquires a particular Importance In solving major problems In mod•rn science-Intensive branches of production (radloelectronlcs, electrical engineering, chemistry, Instrument Industry, etc.). The experience of work of several complex groups created at scientific-production associations In the past years shows that owing to certain organizational measures there has been a consi­ derable growth of general economic effect resulting from the Introduction of new developments as well as the economic effect per a rouble of expenses from completed and Introduced Innovations. However, It Is still necessary to find a final solution of the problem of planning and management of complex groups related 
analysis: The text discusses the benefits and advantages of complex creative groups in the field of science and technology, highlighting their ability to accelerate the introduction of new ideas and innovations in production, raise the scientific-technical level of personnel, and increase the economic effect of completed and introduced innovations. It also mentions the importance of this form of collaboration in solving major problems in modern science-intensive branches of production. These points suggest that the category related to science and technology is the most fitting.
