Abstract
The present paper deals with an analysis of relationship among technical human resources management as a precursor, technology innovation activity and achievements of technical innovation on the basis of preceding empirical studies on technology innovation activities of manufacturing corporations. The analysis shows that First, the technical human resources management is found to have influence upon technology innovation activity in various ways, implying that the role of technical human resources management as a key to technical innovation is most important of all to enable manufacturing companies to gain edge in competition by means of technology innovation activity; and Second, technology innovation activity exercises impacts on the achievements of exploitative technology innovation as well as on the achievements of exploratory technology innovation on the part of manufacturing industry. The above findings prove that the level of technology innovation activity may be a source for superior competitiveness of manufacturing business as a result of technology innovation performance. Manufacturing corporations, thus, need to place more weight on stepping up their executive level of technology innovation activity factors than on increasing simply the level of technical investment.
