Several practices and characteristics of these firms reflect this perspective. These include equal importance of processes of implementation of technical function management and content of technology strategies in promoting performance, a focus on crucial core processes which underlie their ability to create value and competitiveness and a thrust toward continuous improvement and performance in their technical functions and in their line processes.
