This book delves into the fascinating world of how technical information flows within research and development laboratories. The author explores the crucial role of communication in these environments, a subject of growing importance as scientific and technological advancements become ever more complex. The book focuses specifically on the behavior of technologists, contrasting their communication patterns with those of scientists and highlighting the unique challenges they face. The author emphasizes that technologists are often employed by bureaucratic organizations with strict rules regarding the dissemination of information, which creates a complex interplay between the need to protect proprietary knowledge and the necessity to stay abreast of current developments. Through meticulous analysis of real-world laboratories, the author identifies three distinct communication roles: the "technological gatekeeper," the "inter-departmental liaison," and the "communication isolate." Each role is characterized by unique communication patterns and behaviors, and the author delves into the factors that contribute to these different approaches to information exchange. The book challenges the traditional view that information flow within organizations occurs primarily through formal channels, arguing instead that informal networks, particularly those centered around "gatekeepers," play a vital role in facilitating the transmission of knowledge. The book's insights provide a valuable framework for understanding the dynamics of communication within research-oriented organizations, a crucial factor in the success of any technological endeavor.
