Summary: | The role of industrial research in the development of the company that sponsors it is an essential question. This book takes up this question in an historical perspective with a case study of the Dutch chemical company DSM, a company that transformed itself three times over the course of its long history. The case study and its analysis offer a fresh perspective on the history of industrial research. Arjan van Rooij works as a researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. De rol die research speelt in de ontwikkeling van het bedrijf dat deze research betaalt is een essentiële vraag. Wat levert research op? Hoe moet research worden aangestuurd? In dit boek staan deze kwesties centraal en worden ze in een historisch perspectief gezet. DSM, een chemisch bedrijf dat zich in haar lange geschiedenis drie keer transformeerde, wordt diepgaand geanalyseerd en levert een nieuw perspectief op de geschiedenis van industriële research. |
