  The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of corporate foresight on innovation in start-ups businesses. This research is applied in terms of purpose and it is descriptive-survey in terms of method. The statistical population is senior executives of startups. A researcher-made questionnaire based on theoretical literature was used for data collection. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling approach and Smart PLS software. The results of this study indicate that corporate foresight has a positive impact on innovation. The positive impact of corporate foresight on organizational learning and technology roadmapping was also confirmed. The analysis of the impact of mediating variables also showed that corporate foresight impacts innovation through organizational learning and technology roadmapping. Finally, the moderating impact of organizational support in relation among technology roadmapping and organizational innovation, and the moderating impact of integrative capabilities in relation between corporate foresight and organizational learning were also confirmed.

  Background: this research has been done in the field of technology roadmapping. The secondary area of this research is the field of information technology.Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the key indicators of information technology in organization and then to formulate a generic method to create an information technology roadmap.Methods: The main methodology of this study was mixed-method exploration based on tool formulation. the final statistical sample consists of a panel of 30 experts in the related fields at Mobarakeh Steel Company. In the qualitative phase, the research started with interviews. then, In the quantitative phase, the Delphi method was used in the panel of experts and then the IPA was used.findings: In the qualitative phase, 98 primary indicators, either current or future, were extracted in 4 key components of IT field for virtual bank implementation. In the quantitative phase and after performing the Delphi Rounds, 50 information technology indicators, were finalized. After the importance-performance analysis, 9 gaps in 3components were identified. These gaps used in the formulation of the final IT roadmap.Conclusion: In order to implement technology projects in an organization, at first, the roadmap must be developed. since no specific methodology has been provided for the development of IT roadmap, so this research has introduced a unique, innovative, localized and operational methodology, (based on the main methods of foresight), to develop an IT roadmap, that can easily meet the needs of researchers and academicians in the field of IT roadmapping.

  In recent years, technological advances have motivated industries, companies and even governments to look for an improved alignment between strategic objectives and technology management, preferably through the application of structured and flexible approaches that use techniques such as technology roadmapping. There are a lot of studies that have presented various models, processes, and frameworks to develop technology roadmap and more studies have developed roadmaps based on these contributions. Most of these studies have mentioned that the roadmapping process must be customized in every case. Accordingly; having a model or a framework that represents the most prominent findings of these studies in one view, is so helpful for customizing the process. But there is no research that accumulates previous studies and achieving this purpose. This paper presents the outcomes of a Meta-synthesis review of technology roadmapping literature that was published between 1997 and 2016 (73 papers) and develops a framework from important roadmapping components which affected the roadmapping process and roadmaps. Finally, the components of the proposed framework have been evaluated by survey benefiting from experts’ opinion and Shannon’s entropy technique.   Manuscript profile
