Dimensões e complexidade da gerência da tecnologia

Abstract

Organizations are ubiquitous entities in modem societies. Technology is a critical factor to every activity in any organization, so technological management is central to organizational processes. Technology is a factorfor production; a marketable product; and an insubstantial and scarce resource. The process to develop new iechnologies is a complex one, the costs of which are usually difficult to determine as well as the time to get the expected results. The achievement of the desired product or process is no guarantee of its economic utility. The dimensions of iechnologicalmanagement can be defined according to the content of knowledge relevant to the functional activities and should be three at minimum: a specialized dimension; a human dimension; and a logical-analytical dimension.
