Comparison of Multi- criteria and Prediction Market Approaches for Technology Foresight

چکیده
This paper presents and compares two original approaches for technology assessment and foresight based on opposite paradigm: a management science approach (Multi-Criteria Decision-Making) versus a participatory approach (Prediction Market). These approaches are intended to support the management of a technology portfolio and the assessment of new technology by an IT organization. In order to explore the relevance of the research, we conducted several experiments in real environments. The results demonstrated that the rigor of management science and the participation of the Web 2.0 approach are complementary strengths for technology foresight. Furthermore, a framework has been established to compare the two approaches. Key-words: Technology foresight, multi-criteria, prediction markets, Web 2.0 Comparison of Multicriteria and Prediction Market Approaches for Technology Foresight

متن کاملTitle: Participatory Approaches to Foresight and Priority-setting in Innovation Networks Participatory Approaches to Foresight and Priority-setting in Innovation Networks Contributions of the Author
In innovation networks, participatory foresight activities can typically have several functions. They can be seen as a tool for supporting decisionmaking on Science and Technology (S&T) priorities, but they can also be expected to contribute to the structures of a network beyond the scope of decision making. Foresight activities are often limited by tight timeframes, budgets and they need to be...
