Study Notes
Technology Forecasting
- This study focuses on identifying the trends in technology forecasting (TF) methods and their application in different industries.
- The study also looks at the evolution and practical applications of TF.
- The research aims to understand the relationship between TF methods and their use in various technology industries.
TF Methods and Their Types
- Quantitative Approaches: These methods involve using data and statistical models to forecast technological advancements. They include methods like logistic envelope approximation.
- Qualitative Approaches: These methods rely on expert opinions, surveys, and subjective assessments to predict future technologies. Examples include Delphi method and technology roadmap.
- Exploratory Approaches: These methods focus on identifying emerging trends and their potential impact on future technologies. They involve analyzing data and identifying emerging patterns.
- Normative Approaches: These approaches are inward-bound, meaning they start with a desired future state and work backward to identify the steps needed to get there.
Evolution of TF Methods
- The first quantitative TF research using a logistic envelope approximation method was published in 1980.
- The study observes a growing trend in quantitative studies compared to qualitative studies, especially in the past 5 years.
- The use of exploratory approaches has seen an increase during the past few years, particularly in industries like material and telecommunications.
- The study found that the ratio of subjective, exploratory, and normative approaches is not evenly distributed, reflecting the diverse focus of TF research.
Limitations of Existing Research
- Existing research largely focuses on the types and characteristics of TF methods, with limited information about the specific methods applied in various technology industries.
- There is limited analysis of the evolution of TF research over time.
- Previous research included some TF methods related to demand forecasting, such as diffusion models and simple time series analyses, but did not delve into the broader spectrum of TF methods.
