«Technology scanner» as an innovative intellectual tool of strategic management in the knowledge economy

Abstract

The modern socioeconomic reality is characterized by instability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity
(a VUCA environment). In this context, traditional approaches to strategic planning are becoming less effective,
especially when forecasting the impact of new technologies. The proposed "Technology Scanner" (TS) methodology
is an adaptive analytics and visualization system that enables the identification, assessment, and structuring of
technological trends based on their maturity (technological readiness level, TRL), potential impact, and economic return. TS is becoming a tool for business, government, and science, facilitating the transition from reactive to
proactive technological strategy development.
