| Abstract: | The results of a small-scale study of the attitudes of 174 British companies to managing their technology are reported. The data sources were replies to a questionnaire and interviews with 18 senior managers of the respondent companies. The findings are related to current academic thinking about technology strategy, of which a bibliography and critical review is presented. The results showed that the firms in the survey did not give much specific attention to technology when formulating their strategies. After in-house R and D the most often used forms of technology acquisition are licensing-in and contract R and D. Few firms in the sample can assess their technological strenghts and weaknesses or understand their position. |
