Abstract

Most high-technology-based organizations rely on rapid transfer of technology and effective product innovation processes for competitive survival and profits. The concept of organizational pronoia is offered as a sustaining basis for adapting organizations and accelerating technology transfer processes. A continuum of organizational paranoia and pronoia, a typology of technology-transfer-related strategies and designs, and conceptual models of organizational adaptation, are proposed for future testing. Implications that might interest scholars, as well as practitioners, are also discussed.
