| Abstract: | The case study evidence in this paper suggests that management of technological change is more complicated than the existing literature has acknowledged. This paper demonstrates how coinciding increases in material resources and competitive pressures encourage management to adopt advanced instead of conventional technology. To justify this argument, the paper compares two consecutive technological change projects in the same firm and describes the background of their profoundly different degrees of sophistication. |
