Uma metodologia de anlise estratgica da tecnologia

This paper proposes a methodology for the strategic evaluation of technology in manufacturing companies. With this aim, the article discusses a technology concept and taxonomy, and adopts an extended set of manufacturing competitive criteria. On this basis, a methodology of strategic technology analysis is proposed which is based on the relationships between the proposed technology taxonomy and the set of competitive manufacturing criteria adopted. The proposed model also considers the technological-push and marketing-pull approaches as decision drivers for the adoption of new technology. This paper also presents a case study which considers the fuzzy set theory and some conclusions about the proposed methodology.
