Then, in 1937, he left it all behind to pursue an industrial career--first at the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh and then, by way of the federal government, at the National Bureau of Standards. In a radical departure from professional norms, Condon sought to redefine the relationship between academic science and technological innovation in industry. He envisioned intimate cooperation with the universities to serve the needs of his employers and also the broader business community. Edward Condon's Cooperative Vision explores the life cycle of that vision during the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the early Cold War. Condon's cooperative model of research and development evolved over time and by consequence laid bare sharp disagreements among academic, corporate, and government stakeholders about the practical value of new knowledge, where and how it should be produced, and ultimately, on whose behalf it ought to be put to use. 606 $aResearch$zUnited States 606 $aTechnological innovations$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aScience and industry$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aResearch 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xHistory 615 0$aScience and industry 676 $a353.00722 700 $aLassman$b Thomas Charles$01639417 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806239403321 996 $aEdward Condon's Cooperative Vision$93982374 997 $aUNINA
