“The motivations for applied research and development activities are usually explicit; the goal is to solve a particular problem or to make practical a particular product or service. Much of this work is done (and funded) by businesses with a clear duty to their owners to maximize profits.”
- Lawrence Hunter
This second program in the three part series deals with the professional analyst, striving to achieve ethical analysis while confronting competing behaviours that are natural to the corporate environment. It is an extension to the first program which considered the personal mindset of the analyst.
The third program will deal with the societal outlook on world affairs, striving to achieve a greater understanding by considering behaviours that are natural to major world power structures.
