The division consisted of four branches: Industrial Development, Technology, Service Industry and Research and Planning. In 1977, the Division of Industry (1973-1976) and the Division of Trade (1973-1976) merged to form the Division of Industry and Trade (1977-1978). The Division was renamed the Industry Division (1979-1982).
