Technology Roadmapping (TRM): a systematic review of the literature focusing on models

The Technology Roadmapping (TRM) approach has been applied and disseminated among organizations of diverse sizes, from small enterprises to major government policy projects, to achieve an effective alignment of an organization's strategic objectives with technologies related to the products and considered key elements for the success of several businesses. Research has been done to contribute to new models of the TRM approach that can result in improved results for diverse applications. This work aims to carry out a systematic review of the literature, by mixing a bibliometric study with the analysis of networks and content on the connection between TRM and strategy, and to present a set of models associated to the theme. We highlight the bibliometric mapping of the article sample as the main contribution. In addition, analysis of clusters of citations and co-citations was carried out in order to present reviews of articles and authors identified to the models of TRM, with application comments.
