									frequently been commented that a prominent 
									problem in
									
									technology management is the absence of 
									communication between different corporate 
									functions: a collaborative divisional 
									interaction is vital. 
												
									This instrument 
									assesses general information to complement 
									the auditing process.
									
									Technology 
									auditing calls for participation of both
									
									top management and staff related to 
									technology. The process should begin with an 
									introduction of mechanisms for 
									identification of technology needs. 
												
									This can 
									then be followed by questionnaires, to be 
									completed by participants through the 
									grading of each statement from 1 (low) to 10 
									(high) compared to the actual situation of 
									the enterprise. 
												
									The next step requires 
									groups of 5 or 6 to be formed, to discuss 
									individual results and identify
									strengths and weaknesses.
