Abstract: The paper explores and maps the intellectual structure of technology 
management studies from 1987 to 2006 by analysing 22,336 cited references of 
1328 articles in the SSCI and SCI databases. Bibliometrics and social network 
analysis techniques are used to research the intellectual structure of the 
technology management literature. Six threads emerged in this study: (1) core 
competence and competitive advantage, (2) information system planning and 
changes, (3) the management of innovation and organisations, (4) technology 
management approaches, (5) technology strategy and (6) organisational 
learning and knowledge management. This study provides a systematic and 
objective means of determining the knowledge nodes in the development of 
technology management research.
