This could not easily be explained with the help of traditional theoretical frameworks dealing with the technology-society interface which is the reason why the concept of techno-culture was introduced. The techno-culture is essentially the way in which the technique is “framed” in the symbolic reality of an organization. When applying this concept, previously neglected aspects of the change process came into light, such as the importance of the technological traditions, the structure of production group territories, the underlying value and belief system and the symbolic role of management. This study also suggests that neither technological nor social determinism can explain technological change processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101144,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Management Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0281-7527(85)90017-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73758411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A wide range of heuristics were used which emanated from different lines of thought. A tentative typology of the use of criteria is formulated. We observed and analyzed some dysfunctional effects in the use of certain heuristics reducing the propensity to invest.
