Abstract

Technology roadmapping (TRM) is a popular and helpful planning instrument that can stimulate industry change. It benefits from stakeholder engagement to identify application areas, identify scenarios, and create ownership. However, few studies have looked at TRM and stakeholder management. Moreover, stakeholder management research has generally applied a rational and functional view. In contrast, we focus on the role of the TRM orchestrator and use a political lens. Specifically, we study the TRM orchestrator's micropolitical behaviors and focus on the use and impact of influence tactics such as gatekeeping, framing, coalition building, and promising to foster the creation of shared perceptions, reduce resistance, and muster support for the new technology. Based on the results of a practical case of smart urban lighting, we show how this political lens complements the stakeholder view. The findings help better understand the TRM process and outcomes. Drawing on our results, a new integrated framework is developed.

利益相关者参与行业级技术路线图：政治视角

技术路线图（TRM）是一种流行和有用的规划工具，可以刺激行业变革。它从涉众参与中受益，以确定应用程序领域、确定场景，并创建所有权。然而，很少有研究关注TRM和利益相关者管理。此外，利益相关者管理研究普遍采用理性和功能的观点。相比之下，我们关注TRM协调者的角色，并使用政治视角。具体来说，我们研究了TRM协调者的微观政治行为，并专注于影响力策略的使用和影响，如把关者、框架、联盟建设，以及承诺促进共同认知的创造，减少阻力，并为新技术争取支持。基于智能城市照明的实际案例，我们展示了这种政治视角如何补充利益相关者的观点。这些发现有助于更好地理解TRM的过程和结果。根据我们的研究结果，开发了一个新的综合框架。
