| Abstract: | This paper examines several factors that might influence a researcher'slikelihood of continuing with a particular avenue of researchand development. Using the literature as a source of data tomeasure researcher contribution spans in the development ofcochlear implants, specific hypotheses regarding the determinantsof persistence are develped and empircally tested. The resultsnot only provide the basis for developing a theory of researcherpersitence, but also provide a means to track the emergenceof technologies and shape their evolution. |
