Sažetak

The first thing analyzed in the article is the new theoretical
framework of modernization, which originates from the
theory of innovative society and knowledge-based
economies. Modern or innovative societies are founded on
knowledge-based economies whose main reproductive
resources are knowledge (research and development) and
intellectual capital (education). The most modern firms are
science/knowledge-based firms. The key process in so
defined modernization is the mastering of processes that
manage technological change. Therefore, the capability to
manage technological change imposes itself as a new and
unavoidable theoretical framework for studying managerial
elites in Croatia on whose abilities, finally, economic growth
and social welfare depend. The second part of the study
deals with the analysis of influence possibilities on how
managerial elites are formed and how they act, using the
model of constructive technology assessment. Theories of
social shaping of technology as one of the paradigms within
sociology of technology stress the contingent characteristic
of technological change depending on relevant actors.
The possibilities and problems in the implementation of
constructive technology assessment model on specific and
very important actor group-managerial elites are discussed.
