Technology and Strategy: Towards Strategic Techno-Management

Abstract

Although technology is as old as humanity and technological issues can be traced in several disciplines and their development, the strategic level of managing technology is a relatively new area. The ever-accelerating changes in science, economy, and society require adaptive competencies. A company must gain gradually knowledge from systematically monitoring and developing its technology. The aim is to give an overview of the key concepts of exploiting the strategic opportunities of techno-management. There is conceptual diversity in the literature, and information and communication technology dominate recent publications; strategic techno-management deserves a general approach.
