IT Research Direction in the United Kingdom: The Danger of Future Collapse
本文批评英国Alvey和IT86等定向研究项目只关注产品生成和快速转化，忽视了研究到产品30年以上的长周期，导致创新环境缺失，并基于案例和个人经验提出恢复基础研究环境的补救措施。
It is argued that directed research programmes such as Alvey and IT86, being focused on product generation and ‘pull-through’, do not provide the much-needed environments in which new ideas can grow. In other words the 30+-year cycle of research-to-product is either ignored or not understood. This paper justifies the above statement from case histories and personal experience. It also suggests some essential remedies that are required to reinstate such GREENHOUSE research.
