Print on Demand. This book proposes the concept of Research and Development (R&D) communities, which play a significant role in the development of new technologies. The author argues that R&D communities, consisting of scientists, engineers, and other professionals, are instrumental in creating and applying knowledge to solve problems and bring new technologies to market. The book examines the dynamics of these communities and their impact on the rate of progress in technological development. By understanding the structure and behavior of R&D communities, managers can improve their technology strategy and make informed decisions about resource allocation and collaboration. The book provides insights into the collective action dimension of technological development and highlights the importance of cooperation and information sharing among researchers. It presents a framework to assess the developmental rate of emerging technologies based on the dynamics of the R&D community, enabling technology managers to optimize their efforts and anticipate future challenges. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
