System design to integrate the evaluation of technology road map status into a wed-based application.

Abstract

Technology Roadmapping (TRM) is the strategic approach to link between business strategy and the development of technologies. The key benefit of TRM is to help management enabling their decision making to support technology plan and investment. The monitoring system of a roadmap status is necessary in order to review a roadmap according to the effects of changes from external factors. Moreover, considering to options of a roadmap can help the use of a roadmap corresponding with actual business environments. Although, the evaluation model of TRM status signal and scenario building for a roadmap have been studied but they are still at the conceptual level. To enhance the practicality and the ease of use, more works are needed to turn it into an operationalizable form. To help management respond to changes impacting their current roadmap in a timely manner, this research has integrate scenario analysis into the evaluation of a roadmap status and turn this conceptual model into an computerized system in a form of web-based application.
