The authors past experience is 18 years as corporate outbound marketing manager in large multi-national commercial organizations (Hewlett Packard, CoCreate, Sun Microsystems), managing various marketing teams in the US, Europe and Asia. The product focus centred around state-of-the-art information technology hardware and software. More recent experience includes work as a strategy consultant and management advisor for start-ups and medium size high tech firms.
Many years of practical experience dealing with the seemingly unpredictable success or failure of a product as well as its weak relation to a products stated benefits and features, has caused the author to be critical of traditional perspectives found in management literature; to thinking about organizations from perspectives contained in sociology, social psychology, psychology and some aspects of neuroscience.
Researching outside the traditional discipline of management science has caused the author to adopt a broader personal perspective through which individuals’ choice of action and its consequences for technology management can be considered.
