Abstract

Over the last five decades, the Management of Technology (MoT) discipline has advanced through various phases, with a differing scholarly and academic focus. It is quintessential to comprehensively trace the research trends in the MoT discipline to understand its developmental journey. In this article, we study the research output distributed into three periods. Employing science mapping on a portfolio of 1866 articles and a full-text review of selected 91 articles, focal shift, and the developmental trends of the MoT discipline were revealed. We found the ascent of policy, aspects dealing with alliance formation, and the emergence of strategic MoT and intellectual property as the focal developmental shifts. The topics addressed in the 2011–2022 period represent contemporary hot research topics, such as decision-making tools required, their development and applications, capability development and acquisition, managing technological change, and the strategic aspects of the MoT discipline. The topics, particularly those in the emerging phase such as open innovation challenges, development of an ecosystem, and strategic aspects in the MoT discipline, will lead the development of the MoT discipline in the near future.
