Abstract
'Technometrics' is a multidimensional index of technological excellence. Technometric profiles permit objective comparisons of product and process quality between companies, industries and nations. They are applicable to services as well as goods, to low- tech as well as high-tech products, and provide basic quantitative indicators sometimes helpful in constructing technology policy. The method of constructing technometric profiles is outlined and a technometric case study of Israel's fledgling biodiagnostic industry is presented, with emphasis on industrial policy.
