Abstract

Objective: ،The road map is known as an important tool for managing these conditions in the future and achieving success. The purpose of this research is to examine the opinions of researchers in scientific databases and knowledge mapping regarding the types of road maps with a focus on integrated road maps.
Method: For this purpose, the information of the "Web of Science" knowledge base was used, according to the relevant keywords, and by examining the progress of the research in reputable scientific journals, the mentioned data was extracted, and in addition to analyzing its trend, these data were "Voice Viewer" software has been analyzed. In this research, the method of scientific mapping and the technique of scient metrics have been used.
Findings: Reviewing the articles related to the topic, 14527 articles were taken as the research community, by limiting the search in the title of the articles, this number was reduced to 1258 samples and a total of 4632 keywords were extracted from the collection of articles. In order to focus on the influential words, by applying the co-occurrence condition 3 times, the words were reduced to 297 key words.
Conclusion: The technology roadmap has evolved and its scope of application with a bottom-up approach has been used as a tool for the operational level and implementation of programs, strategic roadmap, with a top-down approach at the strategic level on decision-making. It is strategic and focused and seeks to improve performance, and its development will be combined with corporate foresight.
