This paper summarizes the results of a field study conducted by the Center for Research in Scientific Communication at the University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, which concerned the effects of a technology-monitoring program on communication activities, behaviors, and attitudes of employees at a multinational, Minneapolis-based company. It was hypothesized that the monitoring program itself would effect a significantly higher rate of innovative ideas and attitudes in subjects and generally reduce group resistance to innovation. In fact, 20 company managers who participated in the program reported more frequent communications, concerning innovation, with supervisors, coworkers, people in different units within the company, and individuals not employed by the company. Similarly, managers' self-reported increase in the reading of technical and professional journals was substantiated by their improved recognition of the titles of such materials. Participating managers also attended more seminars, workshops, and other forums where technical information was presented than did those managers not involved with the program. (KS)
