Abstract

This paper presents a research on technology management maturity of enterprises. The purpose is to develop an understanding of what technology management maturity is and to investigate the technology management maturity of enterprises in four industries in China. The investigation also has the practical purpose of supporting China's enterprises to develop their capabilities of technology management. Technology management maturity itself is measured along three dimensions. They are resource, organization, and quality. The different dimensions of maturity are measured respectively, and then the overall maturity is calculated, which should provide a good understanding of the technology management maturity. A questionnaire is developed based on this understanding of technology management maturity, and a survey on four industries in China has been conducted. The result of the survey shows that the highest technology management maturity is found in the Aerospace industries, which on average scored highly on most dimensions. Other industries (petrochemical industry, manufacturing industry, and paging services industry) display some interesting differences in different domains. The differences are explained and suggestions for promoting technology management maturity are proposed.
