Science and Technology Text Mining: Management Decision Aids

摘要

This report addresses issues of quality in the context of management decision aids. It proposes rules for high quality management support procedures using these aids, and presents criteria for more effective implementation of these decision aids into the strategic management of science and technology. Two illustrative examples of quality in the context of management decision aids are presented. The first addresses quality in the context of science and technology roadmaps, and the second addresses quality in the context of information retrieval for science and technology text mining. Finally, the report discusses the major barriers to implementation and integration of these decision aids into the strategic science and technology management process: (star) Techniques treated as add-ons (star) Techniques treated independently (star) Mismatch between performers and users.
