A management strategy for producing scientific breakthroughs

Phys.org  July 2, 2024 A team of researchers in the UK identified the Laboratory of Molecular Biology’s (LMB’s) management model as the key — it sets a culture with incentives and provides oversight to optimize the interplay between science and technology. By integrating high-risk basic science with innovative technology, the LMB facilitates a knowledge feedback loop that helps the institute to identify promising questions and continuously push scientific boundaries. In the context of economics and management theory, the LMB behaves as a ‘complex adaptive system’. They outlined their findings and encourage research organizations, funding bodies and policymakers to consider adopting […]
