The main purpose of this study is to explore and map the intellectual structure of technology management studies during 1997-2009, by analyzing 101,360 cited references of 4,257 articles from four technology management related journals in SSCI and SCI databases. In this paper, bibliometrics and social network analysis techniques are used to research intellectual structure of the technology management literature. We are able to identify the important publications and the influential scholars as well as the correlations among these publications by analyzing citation and co-citation. This study provides management researchers a tool for evaluating technology management publications and provides a systematic and objective means of determining the relative importance of different knowledge nodes in the development of the technology management research. Four factors emerged in this study: (1) knowledge, learning and innovation, (2) resources and competitiveness, (3) innovation types and patterns, and (4) collaboration strategies.
