In today's complex, dynamic competitive landscape, management of technology can mean the difference between success and failure. Managers and researchers alike need effective ways to conceptualize and develop technology strategies. Richard Goodman and Michael Lawless provide tools needed to integrate firms' technology capabilities with their competitive direction. Technology and Strategy presents models that help put technology and its market impacts into perspective. It addresses the broad questions of how technology and markets evolve, how technology can re-order the "rules" of competition, and how it can shift the balance of individual firms' competitive advantage. It also blends topics currently capturing attention in business circles--such as Total Quality Management and the resource-based view of the firm--into a clear view of technology management programs. Technology and Strategy also describes methods to develop specific strategies to cope with challenges facing executives--like evaluating promising, but untried, new technologies. Using actual case studies from the electronics and bio-tech industries, Goodman and Lawless demonstrate the use of new techniques to formulate strategy, including Technology Mapping and the Innovation Audit. Both were created to help executives choose the approach to technology best suited to their firms' particular capabilities. Offering clear, practical guidance through a complex, fast-changing world of competition, this new analysis of technology and strategy is a valuable guide for general managers, R&D and manufacturing managers, strategic planners, and academics.

Il est devenu banal de dire que l'innovation est au coeur de la stratégie des entreprises. Mais les implications d'une telle assertion sont nombreuses. Comment crée-t-on de nouvelles technologies ? Comment peut-on les transformer en avantages concurrentiels ? Qu'appelle-t-on une innovation stratégique ? Peut-on seulement gérer l'innovation ?... Les questions posées par ce caractère central de l'innovation sont nombreuses. Cet ouvrage n'aura pas la prétention d'y proposer des réponses définitives tant le savoir dans ce domaine, comme dans d'autres, évolue perpétuellement, proposant de nouvelles réponses, enrichissant ou rejetant les anciennes. Il vise, plus modestement, à dresser un état de l'art des connaissances en matière de management de l'innovation quelle qu'en soit la nature (technologique, organisationnelle, stratégique).

The focus of this book is to educate the reader on the strategic principles fundamental to using information technology to gain market control. It provides case examples of how to use IT to enhance existing core competencies and strategies. The book is designed to help managers struggling with how to advantageously harness the new information revolution. It can also support executive and business education programs on managing technology when few such studies exist. While Internet and information technologies are currently hot topics many firms and executives are without the tools and know-how of how to actually use them to improve results. Some major firms have sophisticated strategies for using information technology to impact, control and even own their competitive environments. This book describes how major non-information technology companies are doing this and the strategic principles employed.
