Theoretical study on technology threat early warning management

With the upgrading of technology importance in social-economic development, technology threat has become an important part of an organization´s exterior threat. How to effectively identify and assess the threat and its possible impact is directly related to the interests and security of an organization. Up to date, there is little research about technology threat between different organizations. In the present study, we first analyze the technology threat, including its formation mechanism, type classification, manifestation and impact factor. From the perspective of technology development, technology threat can be classified into three types: technology gap threat, technology diversity threat and technology R&D threat. A three-dimensional model of impact factor of technology threat has been constructed. Secondly, we put forward a process of early warning management of technology threat, and build its index system including 6 first-grade indicators and 22 secondary indicators.
