PSU Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science
Management of technological innovation consists of both the invention and improvement of technology and the introduction into the marketplace of new products, processes, or services based on technology. Thus, technological innovation is focused on the entire cycle from the initial idea to the commercialization of technology. In the 21st century, modern technologies continue to become more complex as do the applications. The integration of the technologies, the complex relationships of the applications, and the accelerated pace of technological change all present new challenges to technology management. More than ever, technological knowledge alone is not sufficient for sustainable competitive advantage – companies also need proficient technology management practices.
