The current wave of digitalization coupled with AI represents a new technological revolution demanding a complex interplay of technological advances, new organizational and management structures, education, and considerations of ethical and cultural principles. Contributing authors expand on existing understandings of this nexus by examining the concepts of digital business models and entrepreneurship as well as value creation processes and policy perspectives. Particular focus is placed on the relationship between sustainable development goals (SDGs) and digital technologies. Ultimately, this forward-thinking book highlights the relationship between digitalization and AI and its impact on key areas such as electric vehicles, healthcare, and innovation.

This book is a fundamental resource for students and academics in science and technology studies, international business, entrepreneurship, the economics of innovation, and information systems. Its in-depth analysis of digital technologies and AI systems will also be of benefit to professionals working in business and management and the technology industries.

Comprehensive resource explaining how to evaluate technologies for different purposes in any industry using four different practical approaches

Future-Oriented Technology Assessment offers a comprehensive view of technology assessment structured into three different practical approaches: Technology Evaluation, Technology Roadmapping, and Technology Intelligence.

The first four chapters include studies which utilize technology gap analysis, multiple criteria decision analysis, expert assessment quantification or neural networks to evaluate or forecast technology alternatives. The next five chapters apply bibliometric analysis, patent analysis, and network analysis to identify technology trends and the leaders in the field. The final four chapters use technology roadmapping, which charts a comprehensive plan for implementing technology.

Additional topics covered in Future-Oriented Technology Assessment include:

With comprehensive, practical insight into evaluating emerging technologies across different industries, Future-Oriented Technology Assessment is an essential read for researchers in technology and professionals in engineering and technology management, along with professionals and graduate students in related disciplines and programs of study.

Big data availability and the emergence of new tools provide opportunities to detect the emergence of new technologies. Some of the major elements of such analyses include bibliometrics, patent analysis and social network analysis. The authors focus on these three tools and demonstrate their use through applications such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, 3D printing, Wireless Power, Autonomous and Electric Driving, and Smart Homes.

Through the examination of cases based on emerging technologies, the book provides a spectrum of these recent applications and serves as a reference for professionals, researchers and students on fundamentals of technology utilization tools.

This book introduces readers to state-of-the-art cases and tools for managing innovation in today’s rapidly changing business environment. It provides a wealth of methodological knowhow and guidance on practical applications, as well as case studies that reveal various challenges in technology and innovation management. Written by a mix of academic scholars and practitioners, the respective chapters present tools and approaches for the early detection of emerging fields of innovation, as well as relevant processes and resources. The contributing authors hail from leading innovative companies including Google, Amazon, Intel, Daimler-Benz, and NASA.

Cybersecurity has become a critical area to focus after recent hack attacks to key infrastructure and personal systems. This book reviews the building blocks of cybersecurity technologies and demonstrates the application of various technology intelligence methods through big data. Each chapter uses a different mining method to analyze these technologies through different kinds of data such as patents, tweets, publications, presentations, and other sources. It also analyzes cybersecurity methods in sectors such as manufacturing, energy and healthcare.

Roadmapping is a structured visual approach for supporting strategic technology and innovation management, providing strategic navigational support (hence the “roadmap” metaphor) for technologists, designers, entrepreneurs, programme managers, executives, policy makers, other stakeholders involved in the formulation and implementation of strategy.

This book brings together the latest developments in roadmapping, covering a range of practical issues and conceptual aspects. First, the book delves into the critical topic of strategic alignment within organizations, encompassing the interdependencies and synchronization of horizontal and vertical systems, connecting innovation priorities to strategic objectives, and the integration of key performance indicators. Then, the book concentrates on practical techniques and tools for roadmapping, including a template-based approach for technology venture funding. Social and digital aspects of roadmapping are explored, including workshop methods, considering how quantitative (analysis) and qualitative (expert) knowledge can be combined for improved strategic planning. Finally, a series of new case studies focusing on energy systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and Turkey illustrate the practical application of technology roadmapping and also provide useful insights.

Roadmapping continues to evolve, as it is adapted to apply to new domains and strategic challenges, propagates to new sectors, and as new digital technologies such as AI emerge that radically affect strategy and innovation processes. The need for structured and engaging approaches such as roadmapping for navigating towards the future is essential.
