Abstract

This study is about the major determinants for the adoption of the Strategic Technology Roadmap as an infrastructure for technological innovation in a R&D organization. For this study, I defined the concept of the Strategic Technology Roadmap and its characteristics. I also studied the key processes of the Strategic Technology Roadmap and the major success factors for the adoption of it. The study was performed based on the theoretical study and related qualitative study approaches. The major determinants for the adoption of the Strategic Technology Roadmap can be summarized as follows; the top management support for the adoption of the Strategic Technology Roadmap, the relevance - the goodness of the fit - of the Strategic Technology Roadmap and the organizational capability for the utilization of Strategic Technology Roadmap can be the major determinants. This study regarding the adoption of the Strategic Technology Roadmap can be the good reference for the Technology R&D organization which is willing to adopt and utilize the Strategic Technology Roadmap in the future.
