Research Cultures discussion
We had another sort of ExPARC re-union today, this time consisting of all people who once worked in my group, ASD.
I think the most interesting thing is how larger companies, operating as larger companies (or, in the case of SRI, acting solely as a research company), actually can do research and integrate it into the product cycle.
If anyone has more to say on this topic, or more resources, let me know. Notably absent from the discussion of major player research cultures now is Microsoft. None of ASD has gone on to Microsoft yet, but perhaps someone reading this has something to say.
