Sinossi
Excerpt from Technological Progress and the Duration of Contribution Spans: December 1991
Predicting the rate of technological progress within a given field is an enduring problem for those individuals who are responsible for the allocation of scarce resources. Ideally, if managers and government policy-makers had at their disposal an array of indicators to enable them to predict the rate of technological progress in a field, optimal resource allocation would be assured. Indeed, the ability of managers and policymakers to comprehend the pace and the direction of technological advancement will largely determine their firm's or nation's competitive performance in world markets into the next century. This is no small task. Historical accounts of indusrrial evolution, such as with the development of semiconductors, videocassette recorders, and personal computers, show the immense difficulties some firms encounter when confronted by new technologies [1, 2.

Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the length of time that individuals contribute to scientific and technological advancements can indicate the overall rate of progress within a particular field. This is achieved by studying data from the scientific and patent literature to analyze the contribution spans of researchers in two distinct chemical fields. The book employs survival statistics to determine the probability of a researcher continuing to contribute to a field for a specified period and the likelihood of them ceasing their contributions in the future. It also assesses the impact of various factors, such as an individual's productivity, organizational affiliation, and the size and maturity of the field, on the duration of their contributions. Through these analyses, the book provides insights into the relationship between researcher behavior and the pace of technological progress, suggesting that examining contribution spans can serve as a valuable tool for understanding the dynamics of innovation.
