Technology Focus Areas
Commercial experience with so-called 'techology companies' -- an unfortunate shorthand for companies focused no less than others on generating cash flow, but which happen to use technology to serve their customers -- suggests that 'technology strategy' is an implicit part of business strategy, not a separate area of its own. The brief (and not exhaustive) list below indicates areas where Mulhauser Consulting can provide varying levels of familiarity with the underlying technology and, more importantly, its business relevance. See the Scientific Research pages of mulhauser.net for an exploration of the areas in which I worked as a research scientist.
