  2. Definition • ‘tools’, ‘techniques’, ‘procedures’, ‘processes’, ‘models’, ‘maps’ and ‘frameworks’. • Phaal et al.’s study (2006): “in the broadest sense, tools include devices for supporting both action/practical application and frameworks for conceptual understanding”.

  3. Tema guide (1998)

  9. 6 key tools

  10. Patent analysis • It is the systematic analysis of patent databases for a particular purpose. • Used mainly for: • Acquisition (both R&D Management and Mergers and Acquisitions) • Identification • Protection

  11. Patent analysis The process: • Patent search • Classification of patents • Visualisation

  13. Portfolio Management • A portfolio is a bundle of projects and/or programs that are grouped together to facilitate the effective management of them to meet strategic business objectives • Used mainly for: • Acquisition • Exploitation • Protection

  14. Portfolio Management The process: • Individual project selection • optimal portfolio selection • Adjusting portfolio (Note: selection includes to satisfy the goals of: • Maximizing the value of the portfolio, • Providing balance, • Supporting the firm strategy)

  16. Roadmapping • Provides an integrating framework that summarises at a high level (on one page) the various strategic elements that must be aligned to achieve the overall organisational goals. • Used mainly for: • Identification • Selection • Acquisition

  17. Roadmapping The process: • Technology-product-market analysis • Roadmap creation • Defined targets • Project proposals • Maintenance of the first roadmap • Roll out the roadmapping process

  19. S-curve • S-curves illustrate the life cycle of a phenomenon that starts off slow, grows rapidly, tapers or levels off, and then finally declines. • Used mainly for: • Identification • Selection • Protection

  20. S-curve The process: • deciding on a performance metric • Collecting data • the stage of the technology in hand is analyzed over the S-Curve

  22. Stage-gate • Divides the whole project into several stages after which go/no go decisions are made based on the predetermined criteria. • Used mainly for: • Acquisition • Selection • Exploitation

  23. Stage-gate • The process: • Idea generation • Scoping • Building business cases • Development • Test/validation • Launch

  25. Value analysis • An interdisciplinary problem-solving activity in improving the value of the functions that are required to accomplish the goal or objective of any product, process, service, or organization. • Used mainly for: • Identification • Selection • Exploitation

  26. Value analysis • The process: • Preparation and Orientation • Information • Functions • Solutions • Value • Implementation
