Technology Transfer in U. S. Aeronautics


Book Description

The U.S. Government provides massive, systematic support to the U.S. commercial aircraft industry pursuant to a long-standing U.S. policy of striving to maintain U.S. superiority in all areas of aeronautics technology. One can reasonably estimate that government support to the industry during the past 15 years was in the range of $18-22 billion. The support comes through three principal means: U.S. Defense Dept. R&D; NASA R&D, and the U.S. tax system.

Knowledge Diffusion in the U.S. Aerospace Industry [2 Volumes]


Book Description

Nineteen chapters detail the role of knowledge in technical innovation at the individual, organizational, national, and international levels of the large commercial aircraft (LCA) aerospace community, how U.S. public policy shapes the external environment of that community, and the influence of the community's actors on technological practice. Scholars from disciplines such as business and strategic management, communications, economics, international political economy, library and information science, organizational science and learning theory, political science, public policy, and sociology treat topics such as: the growth of LCA manufacturing, U.S. research and development funding, engineers' information production and use behaviors, the relationship between technical uncertainty and information use, the use of computer networks, and a number of chapters on the structural behavior of engineers' communication and information use.
