%0 Journal Article %T A New Method of Creating Technology/Function Matrix for Systematic Innovation without Expert %A Cheng %A Tien-Yuan %J Journal of technology management & innovation %D 2012 %I Universidad Alberto Hurtado %R 10.4067/S0718-27242012000100008 %X the technology/function matrix is comprised by specific technologies and functions, and through the technology/function matrix we can known what the technologies with functions have opportunities for innovation of product or technology. however, the technology/function matrix is very difficult to create, because the patents need to be read, analyzed and categorized into the technology/function matrix always more than hundreds or thousands. in this research, i propose a method to create a technology/function matrix just need to execute patent search without reading and analyzing patents. through the proposed method anyone can create a technology/function matrix in a short time without experts¡¯ help even if there are thousands of thousands of patents need to be read and analyzed. %K technology/function matrix %K patent map %K patent search %K patent classification %K systematic innovation. %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0718-27242012000100008&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
