 he Entanglement of Technologies and R&D Management Practices\n\nJeremy K
 lein\, Technologia Ltd and RADMA \n\nOver the past few years I’ve run a 
 track at the R&D Management Conference on the ‘Technology Dimension of R
 &D Management’.  My intention was to start a discussion about the role o
 f technologies in the formation of R&D management practices. \n\nIn the 
 seminar I will describe a participant observation case study of an SME w
 ith a background of traditional manufacturing\, but undertaking its firs
 t R&D project in additive manufacturing.  I will explore whether the rad
 ical transition in manufacturing technologies led to an equivalent trans
 ition in the practices of R&D management. \n\nBuilding on this empirical
  study\, I have been developing a conceptual framework for how R&D manag
 ement practices emerge as responses to deficiencies in extant methods wh
 en challenged by a new technology or context.  I will use the examples o
 f Technology Readiness Levels\, Agile project management and Moore’s Law
 .  Central to this discussion is the concept of ‘fit’ between a technolo
 gy and an R&D management practice.  The three examples suggest a common 
 evolutionary process as follows: (i) a ‘Kuhnian crisis’ arising from a p
 oor fit between technology and R&D management process\; (ii) innovation 
 of contextually-specific new practices\; (iii) their integration and ins
 titutionalization\, and (iv) diffusion of the new R&D management process
  to technologies and situations beyond their originating context. \n\n\n
 The implications for management scholars are that greater salience shoul
 d be given to the originating technological context of any new managemen
 t theory or practice.  Likewise\, practitioners need to be aware of the 
 need for fit between technologies and the R&D practices employed.\n\n
