To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, acquiring k is harder than anticipated), then the researcher might switch to another field with higher perceived p{m). The switching behavior of a researcher is moderated by the length of time he spends contributing to a technology's development and the amount of knowledge claims he accumulates. A researcher's specialized knowledge (Zk) becomes a sunk cost: the more k the researcher accumulates over time, the less hkely he is to exit a field prior to tc. (5) At this point, it is possible to d...raw together the basic elements outlined above into a dynamic model of the process of technological development (see Figure 2). I5 To begin, suppose that at the initiation of a new technology (t = 1), there are a certain number of researchers involved (Ri) who in each instant of time produce a cenain amount of information (Z'l) and perform a certain number of transformations (Xm). The researchers' effort yields a rate of growth in knowledge (3K/3t > 0) which, given the problem set confronting them, implies a rate of progress toward commercial introduction of the technology (5tm/3t, where tm = tc - 1 1)- The resulting rate of progress, in turn, influences the decision of a researcher to enter, remain in or leave the community.
