Abstract

This study aims at providing theoretical and practical insights into the effect of technology life cycle on technology management. Based on literature review and analysis, we hypothesize that technology life cycle will exert influences on the mode and significance of MOT. To examine our hypotheses, we collected data by conducting a survey of 51 firms in China. Our analyses show that in different technology life cycle stages, task focuses of MOT will vary, and MOT will exert different influences on firm performance. Further, we conclude the mechanism of technology life cycle affecting MOT. The study culminates with a discussion of implications and further research.
