Technology opportunity discovery to R&D planning: Key technological performance analysis

There is a gap between technological opportunities and R&D planning because opportunity information is too broadly defined. Thus, we suggest a method of transforming such technological opportunities into a customized and detailed R&D plan. We identify key information for R&D planning, extract such information from bibliometric data by chunk-based mining, and convert it to a usable form for R&D planning. A systematic analysis of normalized performance gaps, performance structure, R&D feasibility and technological alternatives identified important and feasible target technological performance metrics as well as R&D solutions. Our method can increase the practical value of technological opportunities while reducing the efforts required of experts.
