Technology Portfolio Planning and Management: Practical Concepts and Tools / Edition 1

by Oliver Yu

Overview

From the large overall scope of planning and management of technology, Technology Portfolio Planning and Management: Practical Concepts and Tools will focus specifically on the concepts and tools for the planning and management of an investment portfolio by a government or a business organization for either the development or the application of technologies. A portfolio is a coordinated combination of technologies that achieve a common objective for the decision-maker. Thus, the book will focus on those concepts and tools for selecting and modifying a combination of technologies that will be either developed by a technology supply organization, such as a national laboratory or a corporate research center, or adopted by a technology application organization, such as a government administrative office or a corporation management department, to either advance public goals (space exploration or disease eradication) or enhance corporate strategies (improving productivity or increasing competitiveness).
