Abstract :

One of the solutions for organizations to succeed in highly competitive markets is to move toward emerging sciences. These areas provide many opportunities, but, if organizations do not meet requirements of emerging sciences, they may fail and eventually, may enter a crisis. In this matter, one of the important requirements is to develop suitable roadmaps in variety fields such as strategic, capability, product, technology and etc. In this subject, it should be mentioned that there are connections among types of roadmaps, therefore, organizations need to understand these relations. According to this, we propose a model which describes relations among the roadmaps based on braid theory and appropriate methods for developing those roadmaps. The validity of developed model was conducted through the Delphi method. Additionally, we illustrate a to design a roadmap and implement it in quantum computing as an emerging science.
