Tech Mining
Exploiting New Technologies for Competitive Advantage
Alan L. Porter, Scott W. Cunningham - Collection Wiley-Interscience
Résumé
Mow To Dig Out The Gems From The World's Vast Trove Of Technological Information
A business's competitiveness depends on the effective use of the vast amounts of information available. Tech Mining: Exploiting New Technologies for Competitive Advantage shows technology managers and other professionals not only how to sift through the chaff and get to the key kernels that lead to innovation-in short, information management-but now to make better use of information leads in order to make better decisions.
Tech Mining explains how to use the available software tools, including generic search engines and standard MS Office capabilities, in conjunction with text mining software such as VantagePoint®, in order to quickly access the technological information needed to gain critical competitive advantage. With screen shots and charts throughout, the book shows ttie reader how to:
- Select and access the most valuable technology information resources
- Search, retrieve, and clean information on topics of interest
- Analyze huge quantities of information on emerging technologies to locate nuggets of value and to see the overall development profile
- Identify technological trends and forecast likely future developments
- Gauge prospects for successful technological innovation using tailored innovation indicators
- Integrate empirical findings with expert opinion to provide compelling answers to managerial questions
With Web-based practice datasets and the VantagePoint reader software, Tech Mining will take managers and their enterprises beyond common information management to become wiser consumers-and exploiters-of today's science and technology.
