本文介绍了多技术公司（MTC）的概念，并详细阐述了在此背景下管理创新的一些关键问题。提出了一个可以帮助概念化各种技术策略的模型。提出并分析了技术问题的两种一般管理：技术转型和技术转让。给出了两个经验案例说明。一个案例分析了瑞典电信公司爱立信如何成功实现从旧的机电交换技术到基于 SPC（存储程序控制）和数字信号处理的新型电话交换机的技术转型。另一个案例分析了瑞典汽车和航空航天公司萨博-斯堪尼亚如何尝试管理内部技术转让。从每个案例中，可以学到关于多技术公司管理技术的两个一般问题中的每一个的许多管理经验教训。此外，基于管理发展（或学习）发生在技术发展方面的假设，可以得出对企业和产业组织理论的一些启示。从而，关于入侵和创造性破坏的创新的传统观点受到了挑战，旧的熊彼特观点得到了验证。最后，在附录中讨论了 MTC 的经验相关性。根据瑞典 24 个最大研发支出机构的数据，对增长、产品多元化和技术多元化之间的关联进行了分析。
This paper introduces the concept of a multi-technology corporation (MTC) and elaborates upon some critical problems in managing innovation in such a context. A model that may aid in conceptualizing various technology strategies is presented. Two generic management of technology problems, technology transition and technology transfer, are presented and analysed. Two empirical case illustrations are given. One case analyzes how the Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson managed its successful technological transition from old, electro-mechanical switching technology to new telephone exchanges based on SPC (stored program control) and digital signal processing. The other case analyzes how the Swedish auto-and aerospace company Saab-Scania has attempted to manage technology transfer internally. From each case a number of managerial lessons could be learnt regarding each of the two generic problems in managing technology in multi-technology corporations. In addition, some implications for the theory of firm and industrial organization could be drawn, based on the assumption that managerial development (or learning) takes place regarding technological development. Thereby the conventional view on innovation by invasion and creative destruction is challenged and the old Schumpeter view is qualified. Finally, in the appendix, the empirical relevance of MTCs are discussed. Based on data from the 24 biggest R&D spenders in Sweden, the association between growth, product diversification and technological diversification has been analyzed.
