Synopsis: Advantage: Advantage:

One of the main advantages of this technique (i e. QTIP-Quick Technology intelligence Processes) is that it allows the conducting of a certain technology analysis within only a few days

instead than few months by taking advantage of four factors enabling the QTIP technique: instant database access, analytical software, automated routines,

because we know too little about their advantages and disadvantages, their costs and opportunities and risks.

The main advantage of surveys is that they allow the consideration of very specific regulatory challenges in the future,

the advantages (and disadvantages) of roadmapping depend on the context in which it is applied. There is a wealth of literature focusing on the functions, uses and tools of roadmaps in high-technology companies andmncs 3 20.

This model has a crucial advantage: by repositioning the notion of path as something that is evolving/emerging in real-time,

compared with single cell analysis this has certain advantages and disadvantages in terms of application that need not be discussed here.

there are specific advantages to be gained by building on proximity relations. This comes from building up capacity based on resources in the region,

On the other hand, advantages of such an approach are that new innovations will be occurring within the cluster

with the added advantage of demonstrating integration possibilities for a cell-on-a-chip device.

The proposed three-level structure of futures or‘cascading'visions offers several advantages for policy-makers at various Available online at www. sciencedirect. com Technological forecasting & Social Change 75

how to take advantage of major technological, demographic changes and opportunities stemming from globalisation; how to respond to intensifying and globalising competition in research and higher education.

The main advantage of taking existing or hypothetical universities as a starting point unit of analysis is that a wealth of micro-level factors can be considered.

It has several advantages, too; hence, before being used in a real-life case, its costs and benefits need to be analysed.

as well as for decision-makers in general, a main advantage can be that major strategic decisions in our case on the overall rationale of the EU policies

Finally, for disciples of innovation studies, this approach offer three advantages, as opposed to the case

and it offers additional advantages, too, and thus it is recommended to use this particular approach to underpin strategies for universities.

Socio-technical regimes create advantages for system development as they tend to reduce the costs of knowledge generation and the political costs of decision making 13.

human wellbeing and locational advantage for industry and citizens of a specific region. Therefore infrastructure planning has to incorporate an explicit political dimension as well as a wide range of actors with diverging interest positions.

or take advantage of it. 5. Conclusions This paper has compared the basic characteristics of FTA and risk assessment processes,

as far as that is possible, that the anticipated benefits and advantages of inclusivity actually accrue.

The advantage of this conceptualization is that it allows selection environments and framing conditions to be an explicit part of the mapping. 2. 2. Innovation chain+:

Taking advantage of this a firm developing food-packaging sensors uses the blog to collect data on user preferences allowing targeting strategies.

as it was considered always to be a national strategic advantage that Luxembourg students had to go to foreign countries to study.

An advantage of this late stepwas that the results were owned nowpartly by the MCHER, which had not been the case previously.

Visioning here has the clear advantage of concentrating on creating a shared and desired picture of the future from the very beginning of the process.

One can thereby take advantage of wide availability of rich science and technology publication and patent abstract databases to better inform technology management.

The time to conduct certain technology analyses can be reduced from months to minutes by taking advantage of four factors enabling QTIP Quick Technology intelligence Processes:

The special edition concludes with two contributions that sought to take advantage of the confluence of futures expertise brought about by the conference.

A futures orientation among decision makers is necessary to take advantage of foreknowledge of change. Eric D. Beinhocker and Sarah Kaplan in Mckinsey Quarterly 6 talk of creating bprepared mindsq

and discussion on the possible advantages of the proposed framework for the characterisation of foresight projects as contribution to the policy-making process. 2. Characteristics of foresight projects To understand the impacts of foresight in the system,

without losing its qualitative nature and communication advantages. Design/methodology/approach These assumptions are tested in a scenario design exercise that explores the future evolution of the sustainable development paradigm and its implications in the Spanish urban development model.

In spite of the above-mentioned advantages, territorial foresight has clear limitations. In the first place, foresight cannot tackle or resolve all the social,

and officer safety alike. 4. Discussion 4. 1 Advantages of using FTA in law The FTA METHODS

and simulation platforms) offer a number of important advantages when applied to the legal context.

This section will describe some of these benefits and advantages. At a general level, the application of fta to legal research constitutes an appeal to the creativity of the researcher and to the realisation of the full potential of his or her academic freedom.

such as modelling analysis and simulation platforms, brings additional advantages to Law. In effect, the systemic collaboration between different FTA METHODS, namely between quantitative and qualitative methods is becoming increasingly popular

Important advantages derived from applying FTA to Law can also be found in the field of law enforcement,

and advantages that these instruments may bring, such as making Law a more creative and transformative endeavor.

and perspectives from people who are involved usually not in the technological development process at an early stage may be an additional advantage.

Originality/value The integrative method in this research provides a way to combine both the advantage of strategic technology foresight

integrative SIFT can provide an advantage to existing CTI practice in that its principal analytical technique of Delphi,

Also, the method combines both the advantage of strategic technology foresight and competitive technology intelligence, by utilizing the results derived from the former as a target for analysis

Simply, it would be a gross mistake trying to establish a hierarchy of particular FTA METHODS/techniques based on their‘absolute advantages'(that is,

the data (advantages and limitations) that have been used, and the alternatives (or lack thereof) amongst which the analyst had to choose.

capitalizing actions aim at taking advantage of opportunities that improve the outcomes of the basic policy;

Hence, innovation leads to change only to the extent that agents are successful in taking advantage of the opportunities,

However it does offer one advantage, an ability to see the different strands of theory

and provoking further conversations on to use the future in ways that take advantage of humanity's many anticipatory systems. 1 R. Miller, R. Poli, P. Rossel, The discipline of anticipation, forthcoming, UNESCO.

The advantages of using negotiation in Danish settings are obvious. Due to the low degree of power distance in Denmark, major societal stakeholders expect to be involved in the development process of national research policy strategies.

The third principle is capacity to reconfigure international networks This principle is about taking advantage of existing organisational structures

These disciplines could provide frameworks to analyse some of the advantages and benefits of FTA APPROACHES.

Such systems aim at enhancing a firm'advantages, both internal and external, with a focus on process improvements.

Despite its advantages the BSC is still not capable to align convincingly strategy design and implementation,

The advantages that‘networked foresight'entails could be exploited to a much higher degree for the networks themselves, e g.,

which will become key to competiitiv advantage in a knowledge-based society, causing disruptions in selected markets

Take advantage of the existence of, or create, a national local academic receptor and training capacity.

because they were an important part of validating the advantage of foresight to new clients and new topic areas.

The advantage of such an evaluation is the panel's familiarity with mobile city concepts and experience with actual working applicatiions In total,

1 A major advantage of the matching methods rather than the regression approach is that the matching is nonparametric.

and take full advantage of, the potential for‘crowd-sourcing'processes. Recent progress in the use of horizon scanning and weak signal analysis indicate there is very considerable potential for establishing fast and effective‘sense-making'mechanissm

those who were able to perceive the signs certainly have a comparative advantage over others (Loveridge 2009).

In contrast, some economists, such as Justin Yifu Lin, argued that the country should continue to rely on China's comparative advantages (Lin et al. 2003.

Taiwan should fully activate its strong knowledge base of Chinese herbal medicines to take advantages in the pharmaceutical sector.

The advantages of thinking in terms of innovation systems is that they provide a more complete picture of the topography of innovation-relevant actors and the relations between them

However, in principle institutionalised FTA has the advantage of being embedded firmly further in policy and decision-making:

but could provide a fast-response capability which would be crucial in times of crisis. An advantage of FTA institutions is their visibility,

it has the advantage of providing a clear structure that can be communicated easily to those not directly involved in the exercise.

or national military or strategic advantage are dominant driving forces. Depending on the outcome of this, there could be a range of different impacts on international science, especially around security concerns.

The advantage of this practice is that the enabling technologies are assessed also as evolving constructs and not as singular‘black boxes'.

Building on the advantages and disadvantages of each tool and method, Section 4 evaluates the different approaches and tools based on evaluation criteria reflectiin the information needs of policy-makers about new and future opportunities and threats.

A focused expert review supported by internet scanning has the advantage that it can use any available source and tool that is on the internet.

A major advantage of Twitter is that it is fast and information often appears on Twitter before it is reported in conventional news formats (e g.

Another advantage of internet scanning is that it uses all available sources of information on the internet (including audiovisual information) as well as web tools such as those mentioned above.

with downloading and processing data from Twitter one of the huge advantages of Twitter was lost:

First, each of the methods described above has advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific circumstances under

and means to cover the needs of the different scanning phases as the same method may have advantages with respect to one criterion

Each type of approach and method has specific advantages and disadvantages. Overall, it can be said that the added value of emerging issue scans lies in the strategic combination of all available tools to broaden the spectrum of possible signals
