Extending the FIP (Forecasting Innovation Pathways) approach through an automotive case analysis

摘要

The “FIP” approach seeks to Forecast Innovation Pathways for an emerging technology of interest. It does so by combining empirical “tech mining” analyses with expert opinion. Tech mining extracts intelligence from multiple sources, but especially through bibliometric and text analyses of thousands of records retrieved from global R&D publication, patent, and business/context databases. FIP blends expert opinion from multiple sources, but especially by convening a focused workshop.
