Does anyone have references to the use of the delphi method in strategy development? Thanks - --Dan 15:24, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Technology strategy is not just about information technology
This article sets out a good discussion on information technology strategy, but not on technology strategy. Technology strategy is about the mechanisms that an organisation will use to identify, develop/acquire and deploy the technologies required to sustain its business going forward. For example, a semiconductor company's technology strategy may be focused on developments which will enable lower-power operation; a cleaning products company may focus itself on 'greener' production methods and more effective surfactants.

Why does this subject matter even belong in Wikipedia? Isn't it more suited for a B-School text rather than an encyclopedia?

I agree. This article should be renamed "Information Technology Strategy" and be a chapter of "Technology Strategy" that includes for example the energy sector and the nanotech sector. Alexziller 20:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Concurrent with the above opinions, there is a need to create a blueprint for technology strategy as the main article. This main article should include how biotech and biopharma companies chalk their technology strategies, for example; it should also include the technology strategies of semi-conductor and high-tech companies, who need to craft and recraft their strategies frequently. IT strategy, as described in this article, can be a subset of this main article. Sam 18:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I have not come across 'Technology Strategy' as a main article, is there one?

I concur. Technology is not just Information Technology and the subject of Technology Strategy is different from and bigger than that of Information Technology Strategy. Technology Strategy, has its own body of knowledge that is distinct from IT Strategy, and in most organizations IT is a very small, but influential, subset of the technologies employed. Technology Strategy is about how organizations manage the portfolio of technologies they use over the longer term. IT Strategy is about how best to exploit IT over the longer term.

 * A technology strategy main article makes sense. I found that there are also articles for digital strategy and web strategy. They appear to constitute the tools that enhance or augment business strategy. Darwin Naz (talk) 04:57, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Tone of Voice
Under Assumptions, the sentence beginning "If your organization..." isn't a good voice for an encyclopedia. The audience of the article should be the layman. It's not a how-to article for corporate CIOs.

Update
I created a new section covering implementation with the view that a strategy is nothing without it. I also would like to add to the issues cited in this page about the article and this involves the lack of sources for several claims. I have added some sources to some parts but there's so much to be done in this area. Anyway, if you have questions regarding my edit, please send me a message. Feel free to improve them if you can. Thanks. — Darwin Naz (talk) 23:10, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
