Towards a Scale for Measuring Technology in New Product Innovations : Research Policy

Abstract There are many uses for an operational scale that measures technologies. This paper describes the development of such a scale. It is an important potential tool for project selection, investment choice decision making, organizing new product developments and managing innovation processes.
