Technology management is a set of management disciplines that allows organizations to manage their technological fundamentals to create competitive advantage. Typical concepts used in technology management are:
- Technology strategy (a logic or role of technology in organization),
- Technology forecasting (identification of possible relevant technologies for the organization, possibly through technology scouting),
- Technology roadmap (mapping technologies to business and market needs), and
- Technology project portfolio (a set of projects under development) and technology portfolio (a set of technologies in use).
The role of the technology management function in an organization is to understand the value of certain technology for the organization. Continuous development of technology is valuable as long as there is a value for the customer and therefore the technology management function in an organization should be able to argue when to invest on technology development and when to withdraw.

CHAPTER 4 PROCESS OT TECHNOLOGY CHANGE: DIFFUSION
An innovation or a new idea when it first appears is not accepted immediately by consumers or potential users. Indeed, many innovations fail because they do not get adopted altogether. When successful, an innovation gets adopted over a period of time: Different types of users adopt the innovation at different times. The late adopters sometimes look to the earlier ones for information when trying to decide whether the innovation will be useful to them. From market perspective, an innovation is the output of the process of finding a technological solution to a problem. In this chapter, we will discuss the movement of an innovation along the market dimension: we will term this process diffusion. Innovations propagate through a population of consumers in the market over time. Not all individuals or firms comprising the market adopt an innovation at the same time; rather, they adopt sequentially over time. This is what we mean by the dynamics of diffusion. Although each innovations diffuses in somewhat unique fashion, there are some general characteristics of the dynamics of diffusion.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the dynamics of diffusion of an innovation through a population of adopters or consumers.
- Summarize the innovation adoption decision process, anchoring it in the problem-solving model introduced in Chapter 3.
- Discuss the factors that drive the adoption decision.

CHAPTER 05 TECH AND COMPETITION
DESCRIPTION
In this chapter, we will describe the influence of technology on competition. Specifically, in this chapter we explore such questions as: (1) What are the consequences of technological change? (2) How do industries differ in terms of technological characteristics? (3) What are the systematic patterns of industry dynamics triggered by technological change? We will describe how the process of technological change—innovation and diffusion—create opportunities and threats, i.e., competitive consequences for firms in the marketplace.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Examine the consequences of technological change, especially how technological change spawns new industries and affects competition within industries.
- Describe the key technological properties of industries.
- Discuss the industry dynamics triggered by technological changes.

CHAPTER 6 PROCESS INNOVATION
There are several important issues to note and to consider as you read this chapter. First, technologies cross all areas of the organization, and, thus, all areas of work may be enhanced by their use. Second, computer networks allow for interorganizational information flows. They thus allow the “value chains” of various organizations to be connected and managed simultaneously. Finally, technologies in general—and more specifically, computers—allow the intellectual activity of work to be disconnected from its physical location. As we will see, technology has profoundly changed the nature of work and the workplace, and this is the subject we will explore in this chapter.
Learning Objectives
- Introduce the drivers of technological change in processes and organizations.
- Discuss the major shifts in value chain configurations.
- Explain how technological changes influence the internal functioning of an organization.
