IJFIP addresses knowledge creation, diffusion and utilisation in innovation policy, thus covering all types of Strategic Intelligence (SI), defined as the set of actions that search, process, diffuse and protect information to make it available to the right person at the right time to make the right decision. SI examples in innovation include foresight, forecasting, Delphi studies, technology assessment, benchmarking, R&D evaluation and technology roadmapping. Use (actual/potential) of the various types/methods of SI (creation/diffusion) in the policy-making process is highlighted.
Topics covered include
- Generation, diffusion and utilisation of strategic intelligence (SI)
- Differences between types of SI
- Types of and experiences with institutionalisation of the SI function
- Contribution of SI to the quality, democratic content and rationality of decision making on innovation
- Articulation of demand following SI
- International cooperation, e.g. to stimulate international learning processes and realise economies of scale
- Context dependency/transferability of SI
- Impact of SI on decision making on innovation
- Specific case studies
- Methodological aspects of SI
