THE MANAGEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION: A STRATEGIC APPROACH explores the fundamental connections linking core business strategy, technology, and innovation. The text illustrates how these functions intertwine to play a central role in process layout, systems, structural design, and product development, as well as supporting an organization's overall success.

Updated cases and examples throughout the book. These examples reflect large multinational firms as well as entrepreneurial firms.
An emphasis on the process of managing MTI. With this focus, the book is a more “practical” textbook.
Exercises designed to engage the students at the end of each chapter
Managerial checklists and guidelines at the end of each chapter
Because evaluation and control are topics that are often underrepresented in texts, audit exercises exist at the end of most chapters to help you apply the knowledge in the chapter to your own firm.
