Technology as a system: industrial and technological systems
by Dilek C. Karaomerlioglu
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 15, No. 6/7, 1998

Abstract: As technology is one of the main forces in an economy, many studies attempt to open this ''black box'' and understand how it functions. In this paper, I discuss the benefits of examining technology as a system and emphasise the linkage between industrial structure and technologies. After reviewing the theoretical discussions, I highlight the need for an empirical method to identify technology as a system. From a public policy point of view there are many benefits arising from the exploration of the relationship between industries and technologies in a framework called ''industrial and technological system''.
