What is technology? In a very broad sense, technology is the total number of methods, skills, and procedures applied in the development of new products or services or in the achievement of specific objectives, including scientific research. Technological progress occurs as a result of an increasing demand for more advanced and sophisticated methods and equipment or to meet the needs of new markets. Technological change can be both rapid and diffuse-it can appear as a result of market innovations or it can take a very long time to become established and integrated into the wider culture.

There are many examples of tech companies. Tech companies in manufacturing include manufacturers of consumer products such as computers and electronics; technology companies which make tools and other manufacturing equipment used in that particular industry; manufacturers of medical devices; power generation and distribution companies; manufacturers of transportation equipment; aerospace companies; software and computer companies; manufacturers of energy goods and related industries; manufacturers of food products; and technology providers of communications services. The most important aspect of any tech company, no matter whether it is a manufacturer, distributor, or supplier, is that it must have its own unique technological capability. If a company does not have the capacity to produce, design, or provide a service in a specialized area, then it will not be in a position to remain a part of the growing technological base.

The term “tech company” itself therefore is an ambiguous term and depends on the industry in which the tech company is operating, its size, and the scope of its technological capabilities. The most common definition is one that emphasizes the ability of a company to develop new technologies. According to this idea, a tech company is also required to apply and maintain the resulting innovations effectively. A successful tech company therefore should be able to demonstrate a long-term plan for incorporating new technologies into the company’s structure and practices. A tech company therefore should have a vision for the application of its technologies and have a well-developed internal management system for realizing that vision.
