Introduction: As we have learned this semester management of technologies is as important as having them. There have been a number of examples of companies which had great advantages over their competitors (like RCA, Record Company of America, and Nokia) but for various reasons were unable to maintain that competitive edge.

Objective: Choose one company to illustrate your understanding (what you've learned) of technology and management this semester.
Choose a company (preferably one that might be easy to gather information about or research).

Question 1. Identify some of their technology (again not necessarily technology but those things which the company specializes in, focuses on, has a competitive or comparative advantage in, i.e., what makes that company unique or successful is it an awesome service model, leading edge organizational design, etc.

Question 2. Discuss some how these technologies give the company an advantage over the competition, or in their industry.

Question 3. Discuss why management of technologies is important and how the company can manage these technologies to continue to give them a competitive advantage.
