With the exception of the U.S.S.R. and Japan, the development in technological capacity took place largely as an autonomous process with dispersed initiatives provided often by the accident of circumstances. As a result of the experience in Japan and U.S.S.R., Technology Management has emerged in recent years as a new field of inquiry.

The Technology Planning and Development Unit (T.P.D.U.) of the Faculty of Technology, Obafemi Awolowo University was established in 1974 primarily as a policy research unit and became a postgraduate department in 1984. The unit now offers courses in Technology Management both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
