Integration of Technology Management and its Development: Technology Implementation and Commercialization

Integrating technology and business strategy, technology capacities with customers' needs, technology and business processes require a three-step mechanism of technology management (TM), namely integration of technology identification, implementation, and potential technology commercialization processes. TM requires creation of a functional technology network and good communication channels between strategic and technology managers, technologists and workers, and between a company and its stakeholders. This partly methodological and partly analytical study focuses on identifying the links within and between technology implementation and commercialization processes that could ensure maximum synergies and benefits for TM. Its added value also lies in the bibliometric statistics of the ScienceDirect and EBSCOhost databases (1960-2010), done for the identification of trends in TM. According to the statistics, and in terms of the development of integration aspects in TM, technology identification dominates, followed by technology commercialization, while the technology implementation phase is the least developed.

Keywords: Integrated technology management, technology synergies, technology implementation, technology commercialization
