| Abstract: | The argument that technology is a key influence on organizational performance is part of the received wisdom of strategic management. An organization's technology strategy is treated as a key component of its overall competitive strategy because of the potential of technological change to influence industry structure and competitive advantage. Technology strategy thus operates as a mediating force between an organization and its environment. Suppression of technology is one strategy used to control resource dependence. The selection of specific tactics is likely to depend on both the particular objective sought and the current judicial interpretation of these areas of law. |
