Management of Technology during 1977–1983 reframed technology as a strategic asset, emphasizing cross-border transfer, tacit knowledge diffusion, and alignment with organizational structure and managerial control. Researchers formalized the costs of transferring tacit know-how, connected transfer modes to project phases, and contributed models that guide the design of technology-enabled organizations. The period highlighted how transfer needs vary along the research-through-development-to-technical-services spectrum and underscored the influence of technology on market strategy and performance. Methodologically, there was a shift toward integrative analyses of technology, organization, and strategy, including reviews of technology-structure interactions to explain performance outcomes.
