ppropriate Technology:
Technology is appropriate with two conditions
1. it is in accordance with the development objectives
2. it is suitable to the surroundings for which it has been
developed.
DDT (Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloroethane)
Coal based technology for power generation was appropriate at
one time but became inappropriate due to technological
substitution process.
Some of the accepted criteria at macro level for selecting
appropriate technologies are
1. Improving living standards
2. Provide Employment
3. Industry Development
4. Energy savings
5. Regional Economic Balance
6. Conservation of resources (It should provide for waste
recycling)

well recognized for its technology
It is
based
competitive strategy.
The company has developed considerable skill in
creating new products and bringing them to
market in a timely manner
It doesnt neglected any technology element in
their manufacturing
It developed a corporate wide technology
planning tool. It is called Technology road map.
It is developed for emerging technology and
another one for each product.
It appointed a committee and it is responsible
for updating the technology road map.

Technology Audit
A technology audit is an analysis performed to
identify the strengths and weakness of the
technological assets of organization.
This applies to technologies of the entire value
added functions in the firm, including product
technology,
productions
technology,
service
technology, and marketing technology.
The objective is to develop a base upon which
technology strategy and associated plans can be
formulated.
Garcia Arreola (1996) developed a TAM
The objectives are 1. To determine current
technology status
2. To stress areas of opportunity
3. To take advantage of the firms
