So what do we do with technologies, both hard and soft? Where does it fit in the sustainability framework at the local level?
In this GDRC programme, "Technology" is taken to mean not only machines and equipment, but also the skills, abilities, knowledge, systems and processes necessary to make things happen ... thus technologies
are meant to be total systems that include know-how, procedures, goods and services, as well as
organizational and operational measures.
"Technology Management" is actually a structural process of learning. The key components of management can be identified as knowledge derived from real-world experience together with human expertise capable of transforming that knowledge into action.
