Abstract

In an increasingly globalized and interlinked world economy, the difficulties of implementing effective technology acquisition and utilization programs are important forces driving economic growth. The lack of clear understanding of technological innovation calls for a model to provide a better understanding of technology acquisition and utilization process. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop a "Technology Acquisition and Utilization Model (TAUM)" by conducting a survey instrument in manufacturing organizations in a developed country (U.S.) and a developing country (Turkey). Through the use of such a model, policy makers can develop more effective decisions regarding industrial competitiveness. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
