The 30 Years’ Transitions of PICMET Conferences

People in technology management and industrial engineering learned the mechanism of innovations based the established theories. We have devised products that will be disruptive innovations, triggered them with open innovation, and aimed at products and services that can win in the market. Meanwhile, in the last 30 years, computer science has been generalized, new technologies such as artificial intelligence has been applied to new products and services, and China and India are growing as emerging players. Don’t you feel the gap between textbooks, which let us overview the domain, and studies in the international conferences? We, researchers in technology management, capture the overview with the current topics and indicate new frontiers to business persons.This research overviews the transitions with PICMET conference proceedings since 1991. Using Academic Knowledge API, trends of countries and organizations, co-authoring networks and shifts of fields are captured.
