"This book is essential reading for those practicing or studying technology management. It goes beyond rational technical introductions to technology management to include the social, human, and political world of organizational life. Organizations need to understand and address these dimensions if they are to succeed in improving their innovation processes, and also create a humane workplace."
"Managing Technological Change presents an integrative, strategic, and participative approach to technology management from a multi-industry perspective."
"Managing Technological Change is the first volume that addresses the importance of including workers and their unions in the strategy management of technological change. It also contributes to the literature on this subject by moving beyond manufacturing and into the service and education sectors. This book should be of interest to scholars, students, and practitioners alike."
The book is an excellent reference book for professional managers and consultants to have. It is summarized. It is straight to the point. It is a well done job.
It would be tough for undergraduate students to use this textbook as primary textbook in Lebanon due to lack of exposure and experience in their 4 years of schooling.
It can be used definitely for graduate "Managing Technology Change" course.
