Description

Of the five million scientists worldwide, few are directly involved in significant discovery. In this revealing study, the author worked with 16 Nobel laureates, each completing two interviews and four questionnaires on the subject of organisation. Hurley shows how the chances of discovery can be increased, contributing to the quality of future scientific research. He proposes a model of the workings of research organizations and groups -- to guide experimental research, to test the theory and to establish the parameters of organisation in relation to discovery. The contribution to discovery in science of such organisational matters as the selection of scientists, their develop. and training, scientific leadership, mgmt. and supervision are all explored.
