- Abstract
The article talks about managerial implications of organizations being a high-tech industry. It states that organizations need to fit three criteria to be considered high tech: the organization requires a strong scientific and technical basis, new technology quickly obsoletes existing technology, and new technology development create or revolutionize both markets and demand. It mentions how technological forecasting has become more prominent in organizations strategic planning. It talks about the limitations of marketing literature in the late 1980s in examining management issues related to high technology issues. It compares organizations in both high- and low-tech industries.
