Abstract

A framework of analysis is offered in which the key elements of an organisation are related to a firm's capacity to close the performance gap between existing and desired performance. Using this framework, technology transfer as a strategy for technological change is examined through the experiences of one company, a foundry, which sought to change products and processes, as a means of rebuilding competitive advantage.
