Abstract: Auto component manufacturing is an important sector for India's industrial growth. During last six decades, this industry has made profound progress; its operations are still largely dependent on imported technology. It is lagging behind many industrially advanced countries. Enhancement of firms' competitiveness in this sector has been a major concern. Technology and its management is considered as one of the most important drivers for enhancing competitiveness, but which technology management practice be accorded highest priority and which one would be the next, and so on, has hitherto not been attempted. With this purpose, through literature review, competiveness indicators and technology management practices relevant to this sector have been identified. Using AHP model, prioritisation of competitiveness indicators and technology management practices affecting competitiveness, has been done. Based on the findings, the paper suggests a technology management framework for enhancing competitiveness for auto components manufacturing firms, which could also be useful to other sectors' manufacturing firms.
