| Keywords: | strategic technology sourcing organization technology supply chains |
| Issue Date: | 1-Jun-2013 |
| Description: | This essay addresses strategic technology sourcing -- the determination of what
technologies are strategic to a firm (or nation) and the management of the policy
options that follow from this determination. This work is certainly not the first
word on this subject, nor will it be the last. In fact, we hope that it will stimulate
significant discussion about strategic technology sourcing especially in those
organizations where such discussion has been absent, naive, or just shouted down
by the manage-by-the-numbers types. In the business press today, outsourcing is the
rage. "Restructure and downsize your organization; outsource as many functions as
possible" seems to be the message from many of the world's most profitable
corporations -- large and small -- as well as their consultant-armies.
