摘要:

AbstractTen pilot interviews were undertaken in the Autumn of 1989 in a sample of Hungarian mechanical engineering plants, to examine the process of innovation diffusion in a socialist economy as opposed to that of a free-market. The new liberalisation in the eastern-bloc has brought improvements but managers in Hungary face greater difficulties than their western counterparts in terms of supply of raw materials, effectiveness of labour and reliability of machinery. Despite being rather risky, it might be necessary for the reform process to be accelerated in the next year or two to convince managers that it is worth staying to operate in the new, market-orientated economic environment.

摘要:

AbstractWith the increase in cost of equipment and public expenditure cuts there has been a decline in research equipment purchases in UK universities since the late 1970s. To counteract this effect there is potential for sharing equipment both in terms of spare capacity and time use. The initial costs would be considerable, but the experience of the University of Iowa has shown that a well managed sharing system can help to obtain better value for money from existing equipment expenditure and have important intangible benefits.

摘要:

AbstractThe second symposium of the North American and Caribbean Branch of the International Science Policy Foundation (ISPF) (September 1989) confirmed the continuing importance of ‘science culture’ and discussed how its further development could be assisted by governments through public policy. While the participants at the symposium were mainly Canadian, their discussions had an international basis, and measures of improvement were suggested that could be applied in North America and beyond, such as increased funding for S&T, upgrading educational resources, financial support for learned societies and setting reasonable targets for science literacy.
