  Explanation

  Management should support investments in new process technologies that align with the strategic objectives of the organization and provide a sustainable competitive advantage in the market. New process technologies may involve changes in existing systems, procedures, and skills, but these changes should be justified by the potential benefits and risks of the investment. Therefore, option D is correct. Option A is incorrect because requiring minimal changes in existing systems, procedures, and skills is not a sufficient criterion for investing in new process technologies. Option B is incorrect because relying on the recommendations of technical experts and equipment suppliers may not reflect the best interests of the organization or its customers. Option C is incorrect because providing significant cost-reduction opportunities for the company's current products may not be enough to justify the investment in new process technologies, especially if the products have a short life cycle or low demand.
