Abstract
Technology roadmapping (TRM) is a flexible methodology that is widely applied at firm, sector, and national levels to support long-term strategic planning, innovation, and policy development. As the case study approach is a prevalent methodology used in TRM development, this study conducts a systematic literature review to investigate the case studies applied in TRM research. The findings are discussed in terms of the strengths and limitations of the case study methodologies as well as five future research directions, including improving TRM implementation process, further development of scenario-based and social-needs-driven roadmaps, and exploration of the applications in agile innovation management and open innovation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
