Anything by Geoffry Moore, especially Inside the Tornado and Crossing the
Chasm. I think he has a new one out. These are more marketing focused but they
give you an excellent perspective of technology life-cycles.
I believe there have been presentations by experienced tech writers on the
relationship of the technical writer to the business cycles that Moore
describes. Ginny Redish wrote one, you should be able to locate it on Google.
