On the Persistence of Researchers in Technological Development.
This paper examines several factors that might influence a researcher's likelihood of continuing with a particular avenue of research and development. Using the literature as a source of data to measure researcher contribution spans in the development of cochlear implants, specific hypotheses regarding the determinants of persistence are developed and empirically tested. The results not only provide the basis for developing a theory of researcher persistence, but also provide a means to track the emergence of technologies and shape their evolution.
