What can we learn from the history of technology?
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine what technology scholars and management technology students can learn from the history of technology. Results indicated that scholars and students can profit intellectually from encounters from the history of technology through access to people who design, manufacture, manage and utilize technologies that influence everyday life. In addition, they can also disseminate information that can influence policy makers on how to better manage technology to influence practices and understandings of changes resulting from technology.

Modeling cultures of project management
Article Abstract:
A study of cooperation between a Japanese and a United States company showed benefits from contact between the two cultures, with Japanese understanding on flexibility increased, as was American understanding of the benefits of a holistic approach. The project involved Apple Computer Inc. which required an automated computer assembly project, and Hirata from Japan. Two models which are useful in understanding the processes involved are the funnel model, which emphasises control, and the flexible fermentation vat perspective.
