“…Skills development is perceived as a strategic management tool to cope with the current business environment (Nyhan, ; Dedrick et al ., ; Mejia et al ., ; Porter and Heppelman, ; Gonçalves et al ., ). Mainly because the market has changed from one of mass production to one of customization where quality, price and speed of delivery are stressed, and industries have a new reconfiguration (Routley et al ., ).…”

The skills that small and medium-sized enterprises will need in the near future are an essential research topic that has not yet been appropriately addressed. The current paper aims to fill this gap in the literature. Explicitly, the study aimed to identify the critical skills for organizations and the disruptive technological skills. To this end, a literature review was conducted, and an online survey explored the main critical skills for the future and the disruptive technological skills contributing to achieving sustainable employability. The critical skills identified in the study were complex problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, coordinating with others, emotional intelligence, judgement and decision making, service orientation and negotiating and cognitive flexibility. As for the disruptive technological skills, these were artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, robotization, internet of things, augmented reality and digitalization. Findings may assist companies to develop the skills needed to respond to the challenges of a continuously changing business environment.

“…The diffusion of a typical good can be divided into four stages, namely introduction, growth, maturity, and decline (Rogers Everett, 2003;Routley et al, 2013). During the introduction and growth stages, the product becomes more competitive due to the positive feed-back effects of increasing production and learning-by-doing (Arrow, 1962;Rosenberg, 1982).…”

“…There are different technology life-cycles with different stages for various aspects (e.g., Ford and Ryan, 1981;Abernathy and Utterback, 1978;Anderson and Tushman, 1990;Little, 1981;Erickson et al, 1990;Achilladelis, 1993;Achilladelis et al, 1990;Watts and Porter, 1997;Khalil, 2000;Linden and Fenn, 2003;Rogers, 2010;Moore and Adamson, 2011;Routley et al, 2013). In this study seven different technology life-cycles form the basis of the product development structure (Figure 2).…”

This study aims to capture changes and priorities in product development activities over technology life-cycles. The product development activities are observed through the targets of performance maximising, cost reduction and customisation. Seven models of technology life-cycles are considered to keep track of technology changes over time by following patterns for product development activities. The empirical part of the study is based on analysing a high-tech infrastructure provider on four technology generations. This study depicts different trends of product development activities over technology life-cycles. Different technology generations can have positive and negative interactions which can be strategically beneficial. The managerial implications of this study include comprehensive insights of concurrent technology generations in the context of technology life-cycles which can be beneficial for companies product development planning.Keywords: product development; technology life-cycle; cost; customisation; technology generations; growth; maturity; declining technology; embryonic; technology gap; high technology.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Shahmarichatghieh, M., Härkönen, J., Haapasalo, H. and Tolonen, A.
