Abstract

Within strategic technology management and innovation, often stakeholders extrapolate past industry dynamics, trends and patterns into the future. One frequently used concept is that of ‘lifecycles’ — an analogy of a sequence of stages encountered by living organisms. Lifecycle terms – such as technology, product, industry – are frequently used interchangeably and without clear definition. Within the interdisciplinary context of technology management and forecasting, this juxtaposition of dynamics can create confusion rather than simplification.
