Technological innovations help human societies to achieve freedom in a way much better than before.

Technological innovations enable all potent human needs satisfaction in a way much better than before.


If we ponder, we find human life—at home, work and play—intricately intertwined with technologies.Technologies are created helpmates—means for making human activities safer and more comfortable!

NOWADAYS, TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION IS LEADING ECONOMIC GROWTH BY GIVING COMPETITIVE EDGE

Technology Led Economic Change Path:

· Discovery (Invention) of New Knowledge from Nature (Scientific Theories)

· Transformation of New Knowledge into Intelligence (Conceptual Frameworks)

· Application of Concepts for Innovations (Embodied and Embedded Technologies)

· Utilization of New Technologies for Economic Value Addition (Goods and Services)

Market competition is the driver of innovation.Nobody is going to give assistance to someone to become rich! So ... Innovate to generate wealth!

Technological systems do not exist in isolation; they exist in socio-economic-politico-cultural context.

Two prominent attributes of the developed world are: (1) learning society and (2) knowledge economy.

Goods and services innovation is the primary vehicle for competitive wealth creation. Creative people can make imagination come true: If there is a will there is a way!

TECHNOLOGICALINNOVATIONS

Historically, technology was a follower of societal needs

Nowadays, it has become a leader of economic growth

For Betteror Worse

In learning societies, the success of individuals, firms, and nations reflect the ability of people in all walks of lives to acquire new knowledge by learning and also applying that knowledge specifically for a better life.

Knowledge based economies are those where people are making effective utilization of new knowledge for national wealth creation and continuous betterment of the living standards of all people across the board.


Technologies enhance human capacities of both mind and body with specifically desired activity goals. Technologies help make work safe and comfortable; and give competitive edge and pride of leadership. Making and continuously improving technologies (innovations) are the hallmarks of human race. and...

GROWING APPLICATION OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR REMOTELY EXECUTED ENTERPRISE FUNCTION

The process of technological innovation is in many ways similar to that of a collective endeavor and displaysthe characteristics of entrepreneurship that are organizational expert team based requiring: contextualization; conceptualization; operational framework designing; collaborative interactions; and remote execution of work.

Every innovation depends on creative generation of novel ideas; and applying those novel ideas to make money. Collaboration is essential for successfully implementable innovations. In the present era of ubiquitous Internet use collaborative work for innovation involve instantaneous movement of digital TEXT, DATA, IMAGE and IDEA.

CLARIFICATION OF COMMONLY USED TERMINOLOGIES FOR TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION MANAGEMENT

For organizational innovation practice, there is no disciplinary theory; we only have conceptual frameworks,which are evolving with changing time and situation. Innovators, at different levels of an enterprise, have to deal with different types of decision situations involving different time horizon and requiring different basis:

Assumed DeterministicCondition at Low Level

Science basedResources Allocation

More Certainty than Uncertainty at Mid Level

More Uncertainty than Certainty at High Level

Essentially UncertainCondition at Top Level

ADMINISTRATION

Scientific work produces new knowledge (discipline based THEORY) through scholarship of discovery:

Know-who — actors and factorsKnow-why — truths about nature

Know-what — known and unknown

Scholarship of new knowledge application produces innovation (problem solution based PRACTICE):

Know-how — work packagesKnow-when — sense of timings

Know-where — resources allocation

Crafts basedCapacity Building

Arts basedVision Articulation

Courage basedRisk Taking
