Enterprises with an explicit technology strategy operate more successful than competitors without an explicit technological long-term orientation. Thus, technology strategies fitted to the requirements and conditions of an enterprise are a key success factor. Therefore, the research project aims to develop a method for determining the fit of a technology strategy. The term technology strategy denotes the collectivity of all strategic, technology related decisions made by a company. The fit as the object of investigation refers to the fit between those decisions taken and the organizational, strategic, and technology related framework circumstances of the company and the factors influenced by the environment.The planned project aims to support enterprises in designing fitted technology strategies. The design of technology strategies is a decision process which is influenced by the mentioned factors. Nevertheless it is not a simple selection process, but subjective assessments have to be taken into account. Thus, it is not the objective of this research project to develop a »strategy generator«. The objective is to develop a method with which enterprises will be able to determine the fit of their technology strategy in their specific context. Context refers to the organizational, strategic and technological boundary conditions of an enterprise as well as its environment. The procedure shall identify inconsistencies and allow the derivation of concrete measures to initiate change programs. The planned project shall above all support enterprises with the evaluation of the fit of their technological strategic choices under changing conditions. Thus enterprises don´t have to start the strategy formulation process again.The project aims to provide companies with tools enabling them to describe the aspects of their environment, their technologies, and their company, which influence strategic technology decisions. Moreover, the tools allow to set the technology strategy in the appropriate strategic context of their company. A method helping the companies to identify exclusion criteria for the choice of technology strategic options and to assess the fit by the use of interaction and correlation matrices is additional supposed to be developed. In order to achieve these goals, relevant dimensions of the fit of a technological strategy are worked out and via cybernetic theories operationalized (e.g. coherence, stability). The developed procedure shall allow the systematic determination of the fit of a technology strategy in the context of the specific enterprise and thus build the basis for aligned technology strategies.

拥有明确技术战略的企业比没有明确技术长期定位的竞争对手运营得更成功。因此，适合企业要求和条件的技术战略是成功的关键因素。 因此，该研究项目旨在开发一种确定技术策略是否适合的方法。技术战略一词是指公司做出的所有与技术相关的战略决策的集合。契合度作为考察对象，是指所做出的决策与企业的组织、战略、技术相关框架情况以及环境影响因素之间的契合度。本项目旨在支持企业设计契合的技术战略。技术策略的设计是一个受上述因素影响的决策过程。然而，这不是一个简单的选择过程，而是必须考虑主观评估。因此，开发“策略生成器”并不是该研究项目的目标。目标是开发一种方法，使企业能够确定其技术战略是否适合其特定环境。环境是指企业及其环境的组织、战略和技术边界条件。该程序应识别不一致之处并允许得出具体措施来启动变革计划。规划项目首先应支持企业评估其技术战略选择在变化条件下的适合性。因此，企业不必重新开始战略制定过程。该项目旨在为企业提供工具，使他们能够描述影响战略技术决策的环境、技术和公司的各个方面。此外，这些工具允许在公司适当的战略背景下制定技术战略。还应该开发一种方法，帮助公司确定技术战略选择选择的排除标准，并通过使用交互和相关矩阵来评估适合度。为了实现这些目标，需要制定技术战略的相关维度，并通过控制论进行操作（例如一致性、稳定性）。所开发的程序应能够系统地确定技术战略在特定企业中的适用性，从而为协调技术战略奠定基础。
