Description
Summary:The concept of a technolog y strateg y (TS) has been developing in the literature of Technology management since the 1970s. TS has been defined as a set of technology and related objectives, variant scenarios, technology roadmaps, targeting practices, and know-how aimed at an adequate specification of the desired long-term development of a technological system and related processes (R&D, supply, sales, control, service, etc.). This article has two main scientific goals. The first goal is to describe methodically the main specifics and forms of technology planning/TS through the comprehensive study of available professional literature. The second goal is to analyze the development of technology planning methods, based on the bibliometrical analysis of ScienceDirect database (1823-2013). Main goals, individual explanations, practical examples, statistics and graphical information should help explain how technology planning currently looks like, what are its main priorities and problems.
