Abstract: There have been more investigations of a general nature of technology strategy rather than that of specific technological dimensions, the objective of this paper is to propose an interface between dimensions of technology strategy and technological innovation. A technology strategy framework proposed by Burgelman and Rosenbloom (1989) that defines technology strategy as an interaction between components of substance and enactment, and review of key literature, have been used to propose an interface between technological innovation and technology strategy. The interface suggested can be used as a tool to make strategic decisions with respect to technologies driving various technological innovations. A structured approach to a technology strategy would help firms with respect to their innovation initiatives. It can set the ground for future research to explore a relationship between technological innovation and the different dimensions of a technology strategy. Clustering of technological innovations on the matrix can help to discover patterns of technology acquisition and deployment strategies for technological innovation.
