This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 31
Incorrectア
It lists only a. Description a, that it is suited to short-term performance management of engineers, is wrong: a technology roadmap is a tool for drawing up a medium-to-long-term technology strategy, and its purpose is not the short-term performance evaluation of individual engineers. Therefore any choice that includes a is inappropriate.
Incorrectイ
It lists a, b. b is appropriate, but a is wrong (short-term performance management is not the purpose of a roadmap), so this choice, which also includes a, is inappropriate. Only b is appropriate.
Incorrectウ
It lists a, b, c. b is appropriate, but both a and c are wrong. In particular, c, that it emphasizes creativity and gives little consideration to the time axis, is the exact opposite of the essence of a technology roadmap, which draws up plans around the time axis, and is clearly inappropriate. Therefore this choice is also wrong.
- エ
正解 A technology roadmap is a medium-to-long-term planning tool that, based on a technology strategy, diagrams which technologies are to be developed or acquired by when along a time axis. Description b, that it makes it easy to plan technology investment budgets and human-resource allocation with the time axis taken into account, states exactly the purpose of such a roadmap and is appropriate. By laying out the target timing for acquiring each technology along the time axis, you can foresee when and how much investment and human resources should be allocated. Since only b is appropriate, choice エ, which lists b, is the correct answer.
- A technology roadmap is a medium-to-long-term planning tool that, based on a technology strategy, visualizes which technologies are to be acquired or developed by when along a time axis, and it helps in drawing up investment budgets and human-resource allocation plans that take the time axis into account.
- Descriptions such as giving little consideration to the time axis or being suited to short-term performance management contradict the essence of a roadmap, so identify the wrong ones by grasping the properties of emphasizing the time axis and being oriented toward the medium-to-long term.
