Production and Operations Management
Announcing Special Issue on MANAGEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY
April 2017, Volume 26, Number 4

Whether using big data to transform the financial services industry,
deploying autonomous fleets to redefine transportation services, or
democratizing the improvement of production processes by allowing
front line workers to stop production with a simple pull of the Andon
cord, scientific and technological innovations are often the
foundation of improvements in the competitive marketplace. This
Management of Technology, is truly a multidisciplinary endeavor
requiring a firm’s managers to collaborate with its engineers,
scientists and other researchers from various areas to leverage the
theoretical, conceptual and practical expertise necessary to identify,
create and infuse innovations into a firm’s manufacturing and service
capabilities.
Not limited to just collaborating with scientists and engineers,
managers must also identify and exploit the opportunities in which
these innovations can be used to create value. In addition they must
mitigate the constraints posed by a firm’s organizational structure,
managerial systems and procedures that are inherent in bringing new
processes to fruition. Managerial expertise is especially critical
with challenges requiring breadth of depth of knowledge extending
outside the firm’s boundaries because these challenges require firms
to engage their partners in the value-chain to both generate and
implement innovative ideas.
This special issue of Production and Operations Management both
recognizes current research and encourages future research in
Management of Technology (MOT) that addresses the above challenges.
The focus of this special issue is at the intersection of operations
management, information systems, marketing, organizational behavior,
and strategy. Six invited papers and five contributed papers appear
that advance the multidisciplinary perspective of MOT on topics
including the management of knowledge intensive firms, the value chain
as a driver of innovation, and agency issues for digital goods.
