Question 1

Define and discuss two key tools and/or strategies that are necessary for success in technology-intensive organizations.

Technology-intensive projects are characterized by intensive use of various technologies to develop products, processes or services to each one project. In many cases, if there is no enough technological knowledge the project will fail and will involve the project previously and have same access with adequate knowledge. Because of this, companies principally engaged in the implementation of projects, must have appropriate technologies for their development and these companies also should have joint projects using similar technologies. This means it is important to have adequate management processes to identify, evaluate, select, acquire and join the company, optimization and improvement continuously (Kogut, 2006). Managing technology is a powerful tool that should be framed within the general innovation processes that are subject to all companies. Increasingly extent technological resource control provides a competitive advantage to organizations, especially those in which it is integrated into the overall strategy of the organization. Moreover, this is much more important for organizations which are involved in the generation of products or services in sectors of high technology in which the period of validity of a particular technology, in terms of adequacy and performance comparison with other competitors, is increasingly smaller which means the product life cycle is shorter (Cool, 2006).

Technology Strategies

All engineering projects require combinations of different technologies. However, one particular technology is not used in more than one project, so that the organizations engaged in many projects tend to manage the resource technology in general, and this technology is not tied to a specific project. In many cases, organizations consider future needs so that technology can be incorporated that is not used yet. This is the organization's technology strategy. Technology strategy involves defining a set of management processes tailored to specific technology in question to identify, evaluate, select, acquire, assimilate and use processes efficiently that do not end when it is acquired and incorporated into the projects implemented. Generally, it is necessary to assess or proceed to use the same optimizations. At some point organizations have to decide to withdraw due to obsolescence or other reasons (Gluesing, 2012). The quest for technological advantage comes down to two types of actions:

A multifaceted effort to achieve the integration of technology in the overall business strategy, and between technology and ...
