Basics of researche of the technological environment of business

Abstract

Continuous and progressive technological changes based on scientific-technical revolution
have become common under modern globalization processes. They gradually destroy the traditional
distinction between low and high-tech sectors and shift the general vector of development of the
country from static, temporary comparative advantages to innovation-based dynamic competitive
advantage. In other words, the technological environment is becoming a significant resource that
determines competitive advantage and is essential for achieving efficient and rapid improvement of
the welfare of a society. Almost all the aspects of the operations of international companies – introduction
of new technologies, manufacturing operations, decision-making on marketing activities,
productivity of human resources are significantly influenced by technological environment variables.
