This research aims at a questioning of business policy, as to how technology is handled and innovation facilitated in large industrial corporations. A 102-items survey questionnaire has been answered by 79 large companies in France, Italy, Japan and the USA.

Three management styles emerge: Machine organizations aim at implementing a core skill and a rigorous style of management closely congruous to the production process. Portfolio companies practice portfolio planning management with a strong emphasis on financial variables. Technological networks have a global view with technology as a main component. Innovation in itself is a decision criterion and one of the company values. Each firm choses its style, which is not determined by its sector of activity. National cultural patterns play a major role. The analysis presented here are robust enough to allow any company to quickly diagnose its own style, especially with regard to technology management.
