⢠Technology road mapping is an effective technology
planning tool to help identify product needs, map them
into technology alternatives, and develop project plans
to ensure that the required technologies will be
available when needed.
â Industry definition

chosen field of inquiry composed from the collective
knowledge and imagination of the brightest drivers of
the change in that filed
â definition by an advocate
⢠Bridges the Business and Technology environment

13. Product Planning
⢠Most common type of technology roadmap, relating to the
insertion of technology into manufactured products, often
including more than one generation of product.
⢠Example: A Philips roadmap, where the approach has been
widely adopted (Groenveld, 1997). The example shows how
roadmaps are used to link planned technology and product

14. Strategic Planning
⢠Includes a strategic dimension, in terms of supporting the
evaluation of different opportunities or threats, typically at
the business level.
⢠Focuses on the development of a vision of the future
business, in terms of markets, business, products,
technologies, skills, culture, etc.
⢠Gaps are identified, by comparing the future vision with the
current position, and strategic options explored to bridge the
gaps.

15. Knowledge Asset Planning
⢠Aligning knowledge assets and knowledge management
initiatives with business objectives.
⢠This form of roadmap has been developed by the Artificial
Intelligence Applications Unit at the University of Edinburgh
⢠(Macintosh et al., 1998), enabling organizations to visualise
their critical knowledge assets, and the linkages to the skills,
technologies and competences required to meet future
market demands.
ATOA Scientific Technologies Pvt Ltd | SIBM , III Semester MBA| Technology and Innovation Management 15
16. Process Asset Planning
⢠Supports the management of knowledge, focusing on a
particular process area (for example, NPI, TQM)
⢠Focusing on the knowledge flows that are needed to
facilitate effective new product development and
introduction, incorporating both technical and commercial
perspectives.
ATOA Scientific Technologies Pvt Ltd | SIBM , III Semester MBA| Technology and Innovation Management 16
17. Integration Planning
⢠Integration and/or evolution of technology, in terms of
how different technologies combine within products and
systems, or to form new technologies (often without
showing the time dimension explicitly).
⢠A NASA roadmap, focusing on âtechnology flowâ, showing
how technology feeds into test and demonstration
systems, to support scientific missions.
