解説
問 17
Incorrectア
Plotting the company’s own technologies or new technologies on a matrix whose two axes are the competitiveness level of technologies and the technology life cycle describes a “technology portfolio.” It is a method for evaluating the current positioning and relative strength of each technology, which differs from a roadmap that shows a future deployment plan along a time axis.
Incorrectイ
Taking the investment in research and development and its results as the two axes, graphing the growth process of technologies to represent the transition from old technologies to new ones describes a “graph that shows the growth and generational change of technologies,” such as the S-curve of technology evolution. Its purpose differs from that of a roadmap, which links time, market, products, and technologies to show the direction of commercialization.
Incorrectウ
Plotting technology development projects on a matrix whose two axes are the prospects from the market side and the prospects from the technology side describes a “technology portfolio” (evaluation and selection of projects). It is a method for deciding which projects to allocate resources to, not a roadmap that depicts deployment over time.
- エ
正解 The correct answer is エ. In a technology development strategy, a “roadmap (technology roadmap)” is a chart that places time (a timeline toward the future) on the horizontal axis and elements such as the market, products, and technologies on the vertical axis, and depicts the path of how research and development results will be commercialized and turned into businesses as the relationships among these elements over time. The statement in エ is exactly this definition; it matches the essence of a roadmap in that it shows at a glance the future plan of “when, which technology, and into which product/market it will be deployed.”
ここがポイント
- Definition of a technology roadmap: a chart that places time on the horizontal axis and elements such as market, products, and technologies on the vertical axis, showing the direction of commercializing R&D results and turning them into businesses as relationships among the elements over time.
- Distinction from a technology portfolio: a portfolio represents the “positioning evaluation” of each technology or project on a two-axis matrix, whereas a roadmap represents a “future deployment plan” along a time axis; this is the difference.
