Science has been the underlying principle for many of the most significant technological advances across the globe. From the latest drug treatments and energy production, to computer chip technology. While innovation is the primary power behind science, business is all about profit and keeping shareholders satisfied. Traditionally the business and science worlds were seen as distinct entities. Both are interconnected, and it’s impossible to separate their impact on business from that of research.

While business is http://scorbe.de/preserve-confidentiality-the-data-room-info-for-selling-companies concerned with profits, the long-term implications of their decisions could be significant for the environment, social economic, and environmental impacts. Science is also concerned about the consequences of its actions, particularly its decisions on the exploitation of resources and sustainable development. A wise business, for example will exploit a natural resource at an amount that is scientifically deemed as sustainable – but the greed of some companies has resulted in over-exploitation and environmental disaster.

We have coded the desired results and the effects of these strategies. (TL did the initial code and AG coded 20% of the papers). We found that corporations employ five macro-level strategies to reduce the perceived credibility of favourable scientific findings and boost the credibility of favorable scientific findings. These strategies are enacted by meso strategies that can, over time, alter the evidence base in favor of industry. This has three indirect effects to discredit the potential harms caused by industrial products and practices; to promote policy responses that are in favour of industry; and to boost the sales, consumption and use of industrial products.
