Teaching the Business of Technology
The role and attributes of technology leadership will be shaped increasingly by powerful changes in the nature of technology itself:
- The pace of technological innovation will continue to accelerate
The context for technological development will be more highly interconnected global markets
The effectiveness of technological innovation will be measured first by market success, but also by its contributions to solving pressing social and economic problems
Systems, products, and multi-organizational relationships integrating new technology will become increasingly more complex
These forces will affect the kinds of strategic insights, business competencies, and organizational skills the technology executive must possess.
Not only must the technical professional have scientific and technical understanding, but to progress in the organization, also has to develop:
- Insight into technology marketplaces and competitive forces
