Abstract :
The English language literature concerning the relationship between strategic management and technological developmnt in U.S. industrial organizations is reviewed. Although still largely normative, there is consistent focus on life cycle approaches and a growing body of empirical evidence which lends support to the argument that more successful firms use technology appropriate to different stages in the product life cycle.
