Abstract
Patent indicators can provide a variety of data supporting technology management. For the comparison and evaluation of technological strateg ies of firms, the multi-dimensional scaling technique helps to reduce complexity and to bring out decisive features. On this basis, linkages between strategies in general fields and in special sub-fields can be analysed. This is demonstrated by the example of company strategies i n information technology and telecommunications.
