Threat and Opportunity Analysis in Technological Development

A Trajectory Study Focusing on Research Universities Regarding the Field of Energy

“…Teknoloji izleme, kuruluşların belirli bir teknik alanda içgörü ve rekabet avantajı elde etmek amacıyla teknik bilgileri sürekli ve sistematik olarak analiz etmeleri için bir yöntemdir ve temel olarak yayın, patent, web üzerinden yazılı ve görsel medyanın da kullanıldığı bilgilerin istatistiksel analizine dayanmaktadır (Arman, Hodgson, Gindy, 2006). Bibliyometrik terimi eş zamanlı olarak sırasıyla Pritchard (1969), Nalimov ve Mulchenko (1971) tarafından kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.…”

Technology maturity assessment of micro and nano manufacturing processes and process chains

“…20,21 Since their inception, the TRLs have been used within organizations such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the Air Force Research Laboratory, the European Space Agency and the Turkish defence industry [20][21][22][23] for measuring the maturity of technologies utilized in military and aerospace systems. In addition, it was proposed to use the TRL concept for monitoring the maturity of emerging technologies 24 and also for evaluating the readiness of software products. 23 Recently, Brousseau et al 17 proposed a methodology inspired by the TRL concept that utilizes a common scale composed of seven 'maturity phases' for assessing the MNM processes' maturity.…”

Combining methods in the technology intelligence process: application in an aerospace manufacturing firm

“…This methodology provides software-supported steps for the collection of technology-related data through to the evaluation, ranking and selection of R&D projects . As a key part of the STAR system, a proactive TI methodology has been developed to provide continuous inputs relating to events of interest to technology companies, in particular, potentially disruptive changes (Arman et al, 2006(Arman et al, , 2010Hodgson et al, 2008). Figure 2 provides an outline of the main inputs, processes and outputs of the TI methodology.…”

“…After developing scenarios through an organised brainstorming workshop supported by guidelines (in which ontology plays a vital part) a tool that is similar to the widely used Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) (Beauregard et al, 2008) method is used. The Technological Threat and Opportunity Analysis (TTOA) method was developed by the authors (Arman et al, 2006). Technological threats and opportunities should be related to the market, products, materials and processes that encompass the main company entities.…”
