Abstract (en)

Technology audit is a process which is designed to establish a baseline for technology and identify new products and systems that will aid company development. It aims to improve the adequacy and validity of the technology level of a company. More specifically, a technology audit must make it possible to characterize the needs of an SME related to the innovation management from different points of view. During the research, which was made in innovative SMEs, significant positive relationships were found between technology audit used and the different indicators of the innovation performance which confirms the high impact of the technology audit methodology on the innovation performance of analyzed organizations.
