Userspace draft source ArticleWizard date February 2011 Business Technology Business Technology ref name businesstec Best Practices in Business Technology Management, Taylor and Francis Group, 2008 ref is a term that describes the business practice of converging technology and business strategy. As an emerging evolution of Information Technology, Business Technology attempts to use hardware and software as more than tactical support systems using technology as a strategic development tool. The increasing use of the term Business Technology in IT forums and publications is due to an emerging school of thought that the potential of Information Technology, its industries and experts, has now moved beyond the meaning of the term. Specifically Information is seen by some as a descriptor not broad enough to cover the contribution that technology can make to the success of a business or organization. Business Technology is implemented by Business Technologists. These professionals have an understanding of business strategy and the capabilities and availability of contemporary technology and look for ways to enable the successful implementation of business strategy through the implementation of that technology. Business Technology is being openly adopted as a way to describe the practice of several companies and organisations in the IT arena. CIO magazine describes its content as Business Technology Leadership. Business Technology Management has several associated organisations that promote the convergence of business and technology and describes Business Technology Management as a management science that seeks to unify business and technology decision making at every level in an enterprise. Siemens IT Solutions and Services has positioned itself as the Business Technologists.

The study of technology policy or engineering and policy is taught at multiple universities. Classic political science teaches technology as a black box. Similarly economics treats technology as a residual to explain otherwise inexplicable growth. The creation of the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy addressed the fact that policy can not treat all technologies as identical based on their social or economic variables. Technology policy is distinct from science studies but both claim Thomas Samuel Kuhn as a founder, while technology policy recognizes the importance of Vannevar Bush . Technology policy approaches science as the pursuit of verifiable or falsifiable hypotheses, while science studies has a post modern view whereby science is belief based and all truths are relative. Technology policy is rarely post modern. Its goal is the improvement of policy and organizations based on an understanding of the underlying scientific and technological constraints and potential. For example, some clean coal technologies via carbon sequestration and the allocation of electromagnetic spectrum by auction are ideas that emerged from technology policy schools.
