Abstract
The unique role of technological innovation in the competitiveness of firms, operating in the technology and innovation based competition environments, to gain competitive advantage made strategic approach to the technological innovation management a must; this has led to the emergence of strategic management of technological innovation. Effective implementation of strategic management of technological innovation requires obeying the defined process for the operationalization it in all the behavior and actions of innovative firms. For this purpose, strategic management of technological innovation model was extracted from theoretical literature and has been developed by configuration methodology that is described in this article. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to explain the pillars and process of strategic management of technological innovation which was developed using resource efficiency approaches and based on process models in strategic management. To achieve this, first, the need for a strategic approach to technological innovation management is described; then compatible strategic approaches for strategic management of technological innovation will explained. Next, pillars and process of strategic management of technological innovation that includes three pillars of "acquisition of technological competence", "leveraging technological competence" and "protection of technological competence" is described. In the end, after persenting model, the conclusion will be discussed.
