The relationship that we explore is a more technical and specific expression of the commonly stated relationhip between technology and society. Chapters 1 through 5 are consequently involved in the process of refornulating the problem and postulating the connections between technology and society in view of that reformulation. Chapter 6 serves as an empiracal ilustration of some of the connections that were postulated. The investifation into the relationship between technology and society involved the pursuit of three objectives that can be summarized as: (1) a reformunation of the problem; (2) the pulling together of a theoretical framewoork capable of broadly explaning some of the fundamental determinants in relations; and (3) using Brazils research organization, EMBRAPA, as an illustration, an empirical analysis of foregoing theoretical discussiosns and reformulations.  aagriculture  acapitalism  aresearch  arural sociology  atechnology  aAgricultura  aCapital  aPesquisa  aPesquisa Agrícola  aSociologia Rural  aTecnologia  aAcumulação  aAspecto economico  aCapital formation  aCapital productivity  aCapitalismo  aInteresse do capital  aReseach
