Abstract
This paper presents the utilization of technology roadmap and technology intelligence techniques within a process of strategic planning in a technological research and development center (TRDC). The first section presents a methodological scheme in order to carry out the strategic planning process in a TRDC. This scheme integrates different techniques as technology roadmaps and technology intelligence. The second section presents the steps of a technology roadmap construction in order to describe the TRDC objectives. Expert groups in the technology fields related to the TRDC carry out the technology roadmap construction. These expert groups need to be informed systematically about the technology tendencies in their fields. The third section describes briefly the technology intelligence system (TIS) concept and its main components. Through the TIS, the expert groups receive and discuss information related to tendencies in their technology fields. The TIS must be integrated to the TRDC as a part of its daily activities. Finally, the fourth section discusses several conclusions related to the expert groups operation within the strategic planning process and the technology roadmap construction and the TIS implementation
