Abstract
Strategic design and technological forecasting are significant parts of joint engineering and management activities. Technology forecasting techniques can be classified in four major categories ([2],[17],[22],[234],[509], etc.):
-
1.
Search and evaluation of information.
-
2.
Technical trend exploration (projective).
-
3.
Normative or goal oriented (e.g., generation and selection of relevant technologies).
-
4.
Integrative (cross-impact analysis, scenarios, mathematical modeling, etc.).
