Abstract
The paper presents the work conducted by the TIME Center of the Graduate Business School of Grenoble, which is aimed at studying the impact of technology on management. TIME Center manages clubs for the management of technology: one is devoted to large companies, TIME G.E.; the other is devoted to SMEs, TIME–SME. This article shows how concerns about the management of technology may differ from one category of company to the other. The approach to the topic for SMEs is described in depth. The concept of 'technological platform' constitutes the core concept, around which a methodology to analyze and evaluate the technological competence of the firm is built. It is in the next steps of the management of technology, i.e. the improvement, protection and the optimization of the use of the 'technological platform', that the best practice experiences of large companies, discussed in TIME G.E., may be transferred to SMEs, in an attempt to bridge the gap between large and small companies. The concepts, methods and tools developed within TIME–SME are available for transfer to other clubs of management of technology.
