What is science? How is it performed? Is science only a method or
is it also an institution? These are questions at the core of
Managing Science, a handbook on how scientific research is
conducted and its results disseminated. Knowledge creation occurs
through scientific research in universities, industrial
laboratories, and government agencies. Any knowledge management
system needs to promote effective research processes to foster
innovation, and, ultimately, to channel that innovation into
economic competitiveness and wealth. However, science is a
complicated topic. It includes both methodological aspects and
organizational aspects, which have traditionally been discussed in
isolation from each other. In Managing Science, Frederick Betz
presents a holistic approach to science, incorporating both
philosophical and practical elements, in a framework that
integrates scientific method, content, administration and
application. Illustrating all of the key concepts with illustrative
case studies (both historical and contemporary, and from a wide
spectrum of fields), Betz provides in-depth discussion of the
process of science. He addresses the social, organizational,
institutional, and infrastructural context through which research
projects are designed and their results applied, along the path
from experimentation to innovation to commercialization of new
products, services, and processes. This practical approach to
science is the foundation of today's knowledge-intensive and
technology-enabled industries, and positions the management of
science within the broader context of knowledge management and its
implications for organizations, industries, and regional and
national technology management policies. Managing Science will be
an essential resource for students in all areas of research,
industry scientists and R&D specialists, policymakers and
university administrators, and anyone concerned with the
application of research to economic growth and development.
