330 |a Knowledge is increasingly seen as an economic resource to be developed and managed by firms and national governments, as well as the basis for high-level expertise. The modern sciences have become viewed as crucial to the creation of new industries and as the source of new methods and understandings for managing complex organizations and dealing with major social and economic problems. Their organization and development are therefore critical issues for states and companies. This book shows how and why sciences differ in their organization of knowledge production and their intellectual structures. For this new edition Richard Whitley - a leading figure in European business education - has written a new introduction that examines the major changes in the production of formal knowledge since the 1970s, including the changing nature of business and management studies as a fragmented adhocracy. He approaches the sciences as differently organized systems for the production and validation of knowledge systems that become established in particular contexts and generate different sorts of knowledge. He identifies seven major types of scientific field and discusses the establishment and growth of these sciences, including the major consequences of the growth of employment opportunities for researchers in the nineteenth century ; the competitive pursuit of public reputations ; and the domincation of intellectual work by employees of universities, government laboratories, and private research institutes. He also examines the divergences in the way research is organized and controlled both in different fields, and in the same field in different historical circumstances.
