International Journal of Technology Intelligence and Planning (IJTIP), Vol. 6, No. 2, 2010

Abstract: Small and medium sized companies can successfully increase their market awareness by using business and technology intelligence solutions that draw on existing company resources. One such approach is based on the gatekeeper concept. It has been progressively modified to fit into today's understanding of technology intelligence by opening up gateways of information into a company. Up to now efforts to formalise such an informal network have been rare. This paper describes the motivation for using a formalised gatekeeper setup in a mid-size Swiss industrial company and introduces an implantation framework based on the systems engineering methodology.
