Abstract

The research examines technological competencies from the perspectives of both human and technical components, emphasizing their significance in responding to corporate management challenges. Recent global changes have triggered significant technological transformations, presenting new challenges for corporate management. In this context, technological competence – encompassing both qualified human resources and technical innovations – plays a crucial role in the success of the responses provided by companies. The objective of the study is to demonstrate how technological competencies affect a company's economic performance and strategic adaptation capabilities. Data collected within the research framework included economic information provided by companies, such as revenue and staff numbers, as well as specific data related to technological forecasting methods. The analytical methods employed enabled the creation of a comprehensive understanding of the role technological competencies play in the economic context. The research underscores how the development of technological competencies can assist companies in successfully navigating through the challenges posed by technological changes. The findings indicate that the development of human resources and the integration of technological innovations are indispensable for strengthening corporate success and market position. Expert-type companies, which facilitate knowledge-based development and the introduction or marketing of new technologies, particularly benefit. In these companies, not just the technical equipment, but also human capabilities are decisive in successfully responding to technological challenges. This supports the importance of combining human resource development and technological innovations. The application of technological forecasting methods enables companies to better anticipate and manage market and technological trends, further strengthening their adaptive and innovative capacity. In summary, the research concludes that the harmony between technological competencies, knowledge, and corporate strategy enhances organizational competitiveness, highlighting the importance of knowledge-based development and the expansion of qualified human resources. To successfully adapt to the dynamics of technological changes, companies need to integrate technological competencies at a strategic level, thereby promoting knowledge-based economic growth and long-term success.
