究竟是什么因素妨碍美国工业界从事更多的探索性研究呢?1988年秋天,在一次旨在向即将选出的美国下一届政府提出建议的讨论会上,来自美国的20家大公司的技术主管们考虑了这个问题。这些主管们拟定的报告现已提交给政府的管理和预算局和国家科学基金会,这两个机构的头头都出席了该讨论会的一部分会议。 What exactly prevented the American industry from conducting more exploratory research? In the fall of 1988, at a seminar to advise the forthcoming U.S. government, the 20 largest corporations in the United States Technical executives have considered this issue. The reports prepared by these managers have now been submitted to the government's Management and Budget Office and the National Science Foundation, both of whom are at the head of some of the symposiums.
