Sinopsis

Excerpt from Modes of Technology Transfer as a Function of Position in the Rdt& E Spectrum

The last of the three general strategies is the one to which we shall direct our attention, at this point. In our earliest research (allen, 1964; 1966) it was shown that a consistent inverse relation existed between direct personal contact outside of one's organization and technical problem solving performance. Similar results have been reported by a number of other investi gators concerned with communication in research and development. A very con sistent inverse relation has been found between external communication and performance of engineers and scientists in industrial organizations. Basic research scientists in universities, on the other hand, have demonstrated a very strong direct relation between performance and communication with colleagues in their specialty outside of their university. An explanation for this dif ference lies in a subtle but major distinction between science and technology. Science can be said to be universal. Within a given specialty scientists are all working toward the same goals.and operating within a common social system.
