For corporations competing in a global marketplace, time-basedmanagement of their technology is becoming a significant resource.However, the concept of time in management of technology-drivenindustrial organizations is not new. Classical management theorists likeFrederick Taylor and others used time-based management in"scientific" management of operations or for planning,organizing, scheduling, and controlling. However, due to opening ofinternational barriers, fast changing technologies, and rapidlyshrinking product life cycles, time-based management is acquiring anincreasing significance in its tactical and strategic roles. Develops acomprehensive taxonomy of time-based management based on its threedimensions: form, origin and application. Discusses trade-offs andlinking of time-based management with other strategic criteria, such asquality, performance, and delivery. Outlines six specific ideas forimplementation of agility-based strategy. Discusses some managerialimplications for optimal utilization of time-based management.
