Abstract: AbstractChief Technology Officers need guidance when they allocate resources to different technology programs. The starting point for making the right choice is to audit all the technology projects. A distinction has to be made between controllable criteria and non-controllable criteria. Controllable criteria refer to the accumulated competencies and assets that depend on a firm's behaviour and decisions. Uncontrollable criteria refer to the intrinsic potential, the appeal or attractiveness, of one given technology that does not depend on the firm's action. A list of 32 criteria for auditing "technological competitiveness" and "technological attractiveness" is discussed and accompanied with appropriate measurement.
