The Routine for the Development of Technology Management Capability

The promotion of technology management capability is of significance for the enterprise to achieve competitiveness. Based on the dynamic capability theory, this paper uses the Markov model to explore the promotion paths of technology management capability. A survey of 92 enterprises operating by three different kinds of organizational processes is conducted, and according to the data, Markov chains for different processes have been built to express all of composite paths. Upon further analysis of the similarities and differences displaying in the three Markov chains, we conclude that as organizational process changes, the state transferring probability will also change, which may affect routine selection. It is also found that the promotion of technology management capability is affected by path dependence. Some suggestions on how to deploy an effective technology management for enterprises are provided.
