| dc.description.abstract | The current Technical Education landscape in Kenya is rapidly becoming complex and
Technical Training Institutes are facing accelerating technological development and
competitiveness. These opportunities need to be harnessed and converted into value through
effective and dynamic Technology Management. This calls for strategic technology
management in these institutions. However, the Technology Management discipline is silent
on the coherent set of factors that could be used to manage technology. TTIs have been
operating in an environment full of broad challenges that affect technology management.
Effective and dynamic management of technologies require a set of skills and knowledge in
Strategic Management. SM has a long-term focus and involves the development of vision,
mission, setting of objectives, and strategies that guide the design of functional strategies.
This study dealt with two interrelated questions: 1) what are the factors that affect TM in
Technical Training Institutes? 2) What are the factors that determine the application of TM
factors? The study employed statistical techniques in the analysis of data obtained through
the use of a structured questionnaire. Factor analysis was employed to determine factors
affecting. In this research, strategy, in the context of Technology Management, was used to
show the linkage between technology management and strategic management in Technical
Training Institutes within Nairobi County. The findings of this research have important
implications for the practice of Technology Management. It will help demystify the concept
of Technology Management in Technical Training Institutes within Nairobi County and also
contribute to the discussion on strategic technology management. | en |
