“…If the exploitation of industry technology roadmap is for clarifying several key common technology bottlenecks in the industrial chain of related industries, finding the breakthrough of them and helping to grasp the important technology areas of the future industry development, then the roadmap can just help the government, industry associations or other research institutions to make the technology breakthrough and do R&D activities, but not serve the whole process of the technology innovation 3 . Because at this stage, the industry technology roadmap exploited by all over the country can just help to integrate the related innovation resource, perfect existing industry innovation system and capture the key common technology of related industry through enhancing the technology innovation dynamics.…”

“…Furthermore, Kostoff and Schalle (2001) built a operability systematize tool based on text mining method to analyze breakthrough technologies, found the professors related to these technologies to bring them into the team of the exploitation of roadmap [2]. Gerdsri and Kocaoglu (2007) built a technology development envelope method to keep the vitality of the roadmap and integrated the AHP to the research framework to make the roadmap become dynamic, flexible and more operable [3]. Sungjoo et al (2008) proposed an exploitation method of roadmap for the R&D planning, applied the patent data to the quantitative analysis to exploit technology roadmap to form a reliable decision-making mechanism, and constructed patent analysis graphics for four hierarchic, actor-similarity map, actor-relation map, technology-industry map and portfolio-affinity map which were related to the hierarchic of the research, technology, product and market of the roadmap respectively [4].…”

In recent years, there is a great concern about the research of industry technology roadmap in the area of domestic IA collaboration. The local government exploited the industry technology roadmap successively, planned and guided the development of regional industries by scientific methods. However, there are still some noticeable problems. This paper sorts out these problems systematically and tries to propose some implications of the science management of the local government.

“…In the recent past, emerging studies have identified the need for transforming roadmapping such that it is more flexible, dynamic and operationalizable. For instance, Gerdsri and Kocaoglu (2007) developed the concept of a technology development envelope (TDE) in order to 'keep the roadmap alive'. The purpose of the TDE is to link the development of technologies within the framework of the organisation's strategy, as well as the expected future development of the technologies.…”

(Amer and Daim, 2010). It has also been utilised in the renewable energy sector, to assist in filtering alternative technology options in order to support energy policy formulation, energy security and energy independence, among others (Amer and Daim, 2010).Roadmapping consists of two main components: the roadmapping process, which is generally the application; and the roadmap, which is the output of the application (Carvalho et al., 2013). Roadmaps are useful in answering three key questions, as summarised in Table 1. Generally, the visioning question, of 'where we want to go', comes first and determines what will be relevant in the present (Kamtsiou, 2014). These questions can further be represented in a framework -as shown in Generally, there is no standardized approach, methods and tools for developing a roadmap in the public domain; and most of the individual company roadmaps are fragmented and inaccessible (Amer and Daim, 2010). Amer and Daim (2010), however, recommend that the overall goal and objective of a roadmap should guide the choice of an appropriate method and approach to develop a roadmap.This paper therefore reviewed the literature and identified the approaches, methods and tools that have been utilised in roadmapping. This informed the development of the conceptual framework and the choice of the approaches that were utilised for facilitating integration of solar aided power generation within South African energy policy. Solar aided power generation involves the integration of solar thermal and fossil fuel plant technology in order to account for the environmental benefit of the renewable energy technology and the scale, efficiency and reliability of the fossil fuel technology (Pierce et al., 2013).The paper is organised in five sections. Section 2 reviews the literature on the approaches and methods for developing a roadmap. Section 3 uses the literature review to develop a conceptual framework that was applied to provide the initial analysis for the roadmapping of solar aided power generation technology. Section 4 then presents the solar aided power generation case study and the analysis undertaken. Finally, Section 5 presents conclusions and recommendations for integrating solar aided power generation in South Africa. Literature review Overview of roadmapsWithin the field of technology management, roadmapping has proved to be a useful tool for strategic and operational decision-making and Carvalho et al. (2013) and Phaal and Muller (2009) Question DescriptionWhere are we going? This represents the vision, mission, objectives, goals and targets that the roadmap will be achieving.Where are we now? This represents the current state of technology development, products and market development.How can we get there? This represents the policy measures, action plans, research and development programs and strategies (both long-and short-term) that need to be implemented to achieve the vision, goals, objectives.

“…Whilst the Delphi technique is used at the preliminary stage of their research in order to shortlist and identify the more prominent variables, the AHP has been used as the subsequent stage to determine the weightage of the selected variables and develop the decision making model required (Da Cruz et al, 2013;Chung & Her, 2013;Lee, Wan, Shi, & Li, 2014;Moradi, Etebarian, Shirvani, & Soltani, 2014;Sayareh & Alizmini, 2014). The combination of the two techniques could be traced in many research areas such as project management (Lee & Kim, 2001;Vidal, Marle, & Bocquet, 2011), logistics (Cheng, Chen, & Chuang, 2008), supply chain management ), strategic planning (Gerdsri & Kocaoglu, 2007), forecasting (Mishra, Deshmukh, & Vrat, 2002), product development (Yang, Liu, Kao, & Wang, 2010;Cho & Lee, 2013), supplier selection (Cheng, Lee, & Tang, 2009;Liao, 2010), human resource management (Tavana, Kennedy, & Joglekar, 1996), safety (Moradi et al, 2014;Chung & Her, 2013) and transportation (Lee et al, 2014).…”

Although the Delphi and AHP techniques have been extensively utilised in maritime transport research, the application of a combination of both techniques together in this sector is still limited. Hence, this paper aims to review the application of a combined Delphi and AHP method in maritime transport research through a literature review process. Among others, this study looks into the area of research, the number of expert respondents employed, the minimum prerequisite set for the selection of respondents and whether there is a similarity of respondents in both the Delphi and AHP techniques. In a period that spans around 11 years between 2004 and 2014, it has been discovered that only a total of 8 studies involving the shipping and port sub-sectors have applied the combined method. It is hoped that this review could provide some guidance to researchers in the maritime transport or other relevant areas on how the combined technique could be implemented in future research.
