Technology is derived from the Greek word “technologia”
in which "techne" means craft and "logia" means saying. On
the whole, technology means having the knowledge of making something.
Evolution and Growth of Technology
The history of technology dates back to the time when
humans were able to prepare some simple tools with easily available natural
resources. History indicates that the advancement in technology had a major
leap with the invention of the wheel. From the invention of the wheel, much
usage of the technology has started. The technology in all the fields has grown
to a larger extent and now we can see the technology involved in almost all the
things we use in our daily life.
We know that there are some advanced technologies at
present which include the printing press, telephone and Internet which have
helped us to communicate all over the globe.
Till now we have mainly concentrated on technology
management in general. Now let us learn about technology management in India.
Technology management in India
The Government of India is mainly focussing on the
development of science and technology in the present world. The Indian
industries are operating under the controlled and regulated economy. The
technology management is generally lacking at the enterprise level except a few
enterprises. There are many Indian companies which are able to develop and
produce the internationally competitive products. The companies which use different
kinds of technologies, and are excelling today, in India are the Punjab
tractors, tata automobiles, amul food and certain drug and chemical industries.
In the same way, there are many Research and Development (R&D) institutions
which have developed and commercialised the technologies in the areas of drugs,
chemicals, food technology, and computer software.
