Review: Technology intelligence deals with specific or unspecific observation of the technological environment for pertinent changes; it involves identifying early signals of change and gathering information on appropriate phenomena and parameters in order to determine their rate of advancement as well as the potential impacts of the change. This reference book covers the design and implementation of technology intelligence systems as well s major issues of general technology and innovation management. The ‘technology management group’ plays a central role, comprising functions such as elaborating technological strategies, handling patent and technology transfer issues, providing technical support to R&D and production, assuming responsibility for knowledge preservation, and managing the entire technology intelligence process. Case studies illustrate how approved tools, such as Opportunities landscape and Screening Process can be implemented and applied in practice.
