Industry careers here are understood as research careers in firms. Dietz and Bozeman (2005, p. 350-1)[1] review the state of the art regarding the study of industry careers in the US:

“studies of industrial scientific and technical careers have their historic roots in the discipline of management and the management of innovation. They tend to focus on engineers (Goldberg & Shenhav, 1984[2]; Allen & Katz, 1992[3]), on the dual career ladder (Shepard, 1958[4]; Allen & Katz, 1986[5]; Gunz, 1980[6], 1989[7]), on gatekeeping behavior (Turpin & Deville, 1995[8]), innovation (Fusfeld, 1986[9]; Burns, 1994[10]; Rosenberg & Nelson, 1994[11]; Mowery, 1998[12]), technological obsolescence (Dalton & Thompson, 1971[13]; Pazy, 1990[14]; Bartel & Sicherman, 1993[15]; McCormick, 1995[16]), and the management of technical personnel (e.g., Turpin & Deville, 1995[8]; Debackere et al., 1997[17]; Bowden, 1997[18]).”

However, these studies usually only look obliquely at careers in industry, or focus on particular aspects. Some of these studies may also be out of date in relation to current industrial R&D contexts of research careers. Knowledge in this area is scarce.
