Management Policies
Contributing maximum to planned environment of organization
Enunciated by higher levels of management (in written or oral form)
Management attitude, unconscious reflection in a series of minor
decisions appear to form policy
to ensure
(a) that competent groups have both the authority and the
obligation to develop new technologies at each of their critical
stages,
(b) that each major technological transfer is planned and
monitored to control effort expenditures, cash flows, and timing, and
(c) that the entire transfer system implements the critical strategy
which determines success or failure at each major technological
transfer point.
