Technology management as part of strategic planning - some empirical results
Article Abstract:
The success of research and development (R&D) strategies experienced in the past are being challenged by various factors such as the decline in the development of new knowledge and external competition. One of the approaches proposed to lessen the impact of these factors and to enhance R&D planning is the integration of technology management. However, the success of R&D planning based on technology management needs an understanding of basic technology management ideas and the establishment of an ideal technological environment.
