520 _aTechnology is fundamental to every product-based business in reducing costs, differentiating products, providing new opportunities, and driving strategic change. It sets out to answer the key questions which confront top management: how to decide which technologies to invest in and how to manage and exploit them for maximum commercial benefit; how much to invest in R&D and to measure whether it delivers the goods; how to shape management roles, corporate structure and culture to fit technology strategy; and how to gain both employee and shareholder commitment.
