  • Abstract
    The existence of a technology-based business is predicated on providing the customers with the technology that satisfies their needs. The tracking and application of similar technology developments is not a difficult proposition. However, it is very easy to overlook the emergence of alternate technological solutions. While there is not a single predicator that will provide an insight to key emerging technologies, the tracking of trends provides a beginning. Understanding these trends and being able to sort wheat from chaff is the most difficult task. A significant portion of being able to determine exactly what is being manufactured. If a manufactured item can not be measured and quantified, the device can not really be manufactured.
