Abstract
Management of technological change has been the subject of research for over 30 years. Technological change has been studied by social and political scientists largely concerned with the organization and mechanism of innovation and the problems of diffusion of technological change. Sociologists have researched the spread of ideas and information and the impact of technological change on society and individuals. Social geographers were interested in the spatial issues involved in technological diffusion. Economists, on the other hand, studied the causes and effects of technological change with particular attention to their quantification with a view towards establishing methods for the determination of the economic impact of technological change. Systems and management analysts researched the process of technological change and, together with economists, have studied the relations between technological change and productivity or productivity growth. Organizational scientists are interested in the effects of technological change on organizational structure as well as on the role of management and the individual worker involved in the changed process or consumer using a changed product.
