    And that's the crux of the issue. If you are content to stay in one job until retirement, you don't have to engage in research. If, however, you want to move around, you would have to demonstrate a commitment to research.

    And that's it in a nutshell. The incentive for IoT staff to research really only applies if they want to move into a university, with all that that entails (3 hours a week teaching, for one thing).
