Standard Research Grant: Trading Codes between Industry and Academia

这个项目探讨了大学管理者如何使用商业语言，以及行业管理者如何利用学术代码来描述，证明和解释各自领域的活动，并研究代码交易随时间的变化。智力价值这项研究的前提是，大学与产业互动的性质比关于学术与商业关系的辩论所表明的要复杂得多。 通过对学术管理人员和科学产业领导人阅读和撰写的期刊的分析，PI打算探索美国学术界和科学产业的文化在1960年至2000年期间相互作用的产物所经历的微妙而多样的变化。随着1970年代生物技术革命的到来，人们越来越担心大学的研究议程将越来越多地由工业界确定，学术科学所特有的信息自由流动将受到扼杀。 事实上，自20世纪70年代以来，学术界的科学家、行政人员、州和联邦政策制定者一再呼吁制定保护大学科学相对自主权的政策。PI将向学术和非学术受众传播结果。调查结果将为学术界和工业界关于大学文化和商业文化模糊的优点和缺点的辩论提供信息。

This project explores how university administrators have used commercial language and how industry managers have drawn upon academic codes in their efforts to describe, justify, and explain the activities in their respective domains, examining change over time in this trading of codes. Intellectual meritThe premise of this research is that the nature of university-industry interaction is considerably more complicated than the debates about academic-business relations suggest. Through an analysis of periodicals read and written by academic administrators and science-based industry leaders, the PI intends to explore the subtle and varied changes that the cultures of US academia and science-based industry have experienced as a product of their interaction over the period between 1960 and 2000. Broader impact With the advent of the biotechnology revolution in the 1970s, concern grew that university research agendas would be increasingly be set by industry and that the free flow of information characteristic of academic science would be stifled. Indeed, since the 1970s calls for policies that protect the relative autonomy of university science have been repeatedly called for by academic scientists and administrators and state and federal policymakers. The PI will disseminate results to academic and non-academic audiences. Findings will inform debates about the virtues and the drawbacks for academia and industry of the blurring of university and commercial cultures.
