Synopsis
Excerpt from Institutional Variations in Problem Choice and Persistence Among Pioneering Researchers
Given the tremendous volume of research conducted in industrial and government laboratories and the large percentage of doctorates employed, it is not surprising that any examination of scientists' problem choices must be considered in light of commercial, military and other external influences. Frequently, these interests can conflict with the internal cognitive and social influences of the scientific community. Difficulties arise when, in order to preserve commercial advantage or national security, scientists in industrial and military laboratories need to maintain a level of secrecy that divides them from their colleagues in the rest of the research community (allen, 1977; Kornhauser, 1962; Pelz and Andrews.

Institutional Variations in Problem Choice and Persistence Among Pioneering
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the factors that influence pioneering scientists in their choice and persistence in research. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of a survey conducted among researchers in the field of neural networks. By comparing the motivations and experiences of pioneers to those of their peers, the book explores how cognitive and social factors interact in the problem-solving process. The author argues that cognitive factors play a stronger role for pioneers, while social factors are more influential for non-pioneers. This distinction is particularly evident in academic institutions, where pioneers are more likely to be driven by intellectual curiosity and less influenced by external pressures. The book highlights the unique role of universities in fostering pioneering behavior and the importance of recognizing the different motivations that drive scientists within and outside academia. 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. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282299224_0
