- - - - not good 4 business
  - - - similarity of overall strategic mgt and mot
    - - emphasise the importance of human resources and organisational measures to be integrated with technological development | Integrated Approach org & tech
    - - integrate technology and business issues within strategic management (2 or 3 streams combined maybe)
- - - - scope: extent of descision making | In the school of R&D management, technology managers are to be responsible for decisions concerning R&D planning and project execution -- but perhaps not overall R&D spending as this is assumed to be a strategic decision
      - issue: In the school of R&D management, manage- ment of technology was limited to the issue of inventing new products. However, in recent years issues such as the organisational aspects of techno- logies, administrative technologies and marketing have become part of MOT.
      - view: From a view of technology as a simple tool, the view of technology has evolved into a very complex perception in which technology is seen in relation to people, organisation, and so on
  - - - implementation problems, lack of business success, and low worker satisfaction
      - created not by technological possibilities but by managerial paradigms overdue for change
    - - In a world where the window of opportunity for a new product is get- ting smaller and smaller, it simply takes too long to break the product down into necessary technology -- and develop the necessary technologies afterwards
      - state of readiness
    - - 'Planning is no longer sufficient for managing technology' because info is not avail.
- - - - growth in R&D spending and decreased product life cycles, which in turn bring about increased competition
    - - time between the dis- covery of a fundamental process and its application has become progressively shorter over time
    - - New Sys. Coming
- - - - create a mutual understanding between business and technology
      - recognise the limitations of strategic business plan- ning process
      - incorporate technology as a part of corporate stra- tegic planning process
      - recognise that the effective utilisation of human resources may be the only strategic advantage of a business or corporation
  - - - 'allusive' definitions, where technology is viewed as a key factor of success, but where no specific definition
      - 'extensive' definitions, where technology is defined but extended to all areas of expertise existing in a corporation, thus making it difficult to differentiate between what is technology and what is not
      - 'specific' definitions, where technology is placed somewhere between science on the one hand and the commercial products or processes derived from the application of scientific knowledge on the other.
    - - Technology as a tool
        
        equipments + methods
        
        the ability to create a reproducible way for generating new and improved products, processes and services", surely also a specific definition
      - Technology as a system
        
        This view implies that tech- nology will affect the user, the task it is used to solve, plus a number of factors that the user didn't intend to affect at the time of using the technology
        
        detailed analysis by choosing subsystems
      - Technology as value
        
        assessment of technology with regard to some subject | good or bad
        
        useful or not | productivity and other perceptions of value
