| dc.description.abstract | <p>An article by Alan Deutschman in Fortune (October 17, 1994) presents a list of management techniques which he claims distinguish the innovative high technology companies of Silicon Valley from all other types of organizations.

We decided to test his claim directly. We developed a questionnaire and sent it to 695 Canadian companies from the Financial Post 500 list and the Canadian Advanced Technology Association. Our study results showed that high technology companies were found to use over 60% of Deutschman's management techniques to a significant degree more than low technology companies.
