Yes, for the development of technology, companies or countries certainly need absolute strategies. According to Gary (2015), regardless of enormous speculations of the management time and expenditure, development stays a frustrating track in numerous organizations.
Exchange and innovation present an open door when they can use existing abilities, and hence provide a straightforward and dependable way to advancement. Great techniques advance arrangement among different gatherings within an association, explain targets and needs, and help center endeavors around them. Organizations consistently characterize their general business methodology. Finally, without an advancement procedure, various pieces of an association can undoubtedly end up seeking after clashing needs—regardless of whether there's an unmistakable business methodology. Also, in order to partake in a high-tech commercial center, non-industrial countries require innovative technologies and people with specialized skills. But it’s always better to be mindful about the rapid changes in unstable environments will lead to destabilization and cause more problems than they solve.

In my opinion, I do not feel that companies and countries require explicit strategies for the development of technology; this is because they may want to have it although they will not put it into appropriate use despite its availability.
For the development of technology, explicit strategies will be highly significant, especially in the development and promotion of creativity. However, it may end up limiting innovation that may be important for growth. We have to understand that explicit strategies are well-defined strategies; they are also clearly structured. Thus, by following these strategies, technological development would be restricted to these challenges and the specified structures. (Pearce, R. 2016).
This implies that if companies and nations adopt these explicit strategies to develop technology, they would only have technology developments that are limited to these strategies and structures, making them not self-sufficient. These explicit strategies end up giving nations and companies latitude, which does not confine them in a particular way to think; that is why they help in the stimulation of creativity and development of technology in an organization. (Kerr, P. A. 2016).
A business needs to come up with a business strategy that would act as guidance to them when making developments; they will also be able to understand the goals they want to achieve in the future. Sometimes a company or country may have set goals that are going to steer them to future developments, but they may not have available ways they will use to achieve these set goals.
In some areas, the new technology does not exert any difference, especially for the growing nation's explicit strategies that may not be useful for development. These strategies may end up fostering creativity among the people but limiting their ability to be innovative. These strategies have structured and clearly defined ways that may lead to development, although it may limit how innovative people, companies and nations may become, which limits its reliability. (Brey, P. 2018).

Hi Anil,
You stated " I do not feel that companies and countries require explicit strategies for the development of technology " is eye catching. I do agree on your reasoning but, I would like to oppose your statement with Once you look for the correct kind of key management preparing, you'll have what it takes to lead your company into long-standing time and to play a key role in that future. You'll have the advantage of the fundamental aptitudes, thought forms, and the devices you would like to open esteem for your company within the display and long run.
Do you agree with this?
