title={Technological Forecasting – A Review},
author={Ayse Kaya Firat and Stuart E. Madnick and Wei Lee Woon},
year={2008}
}This report aims to summarize the field of technological forecasting (TF), its techniques and applications by considering the following questions: • What are the purposes of TF? • Which techniques are used for TF? • What are the strengths and weaknesses of these techniques / how do we evaluate their quality? • Do we need different TF techniques for different purposes/technologies? We also present a brief analysis of how TF is used in practice. We analyze how corporate decisions, such as…
