Technology management(TM) and technological capability (TC) are both important to firm performance. Although many firms attach attention to TM and TC, but they cannot get better performance. One of the important reasons is that they do not understand and handle the relationship between TM and TC properly. This paper aims to reveal the synergy mode between TM and TC. Firstly it analyzes the elements of TM and TC, and their relationships. Then it constructs a simulation model based on NKC model. Then a series of simulations are run to identify the fittest synergy mode by exploring the effects of the relationships between TM and TC on firm performance. The results show that in the condition that TM elements and TC elements are weakly linked; the firm should make TM dominate the synergy between TM and TC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
