Abstract: The dynamic development in all areas of business brings shorter life cycles of products, technologies, as well as organisational structures and enterprises. The critical factor of many technological changes is not the technology innovation process, but finding a new application for an existing technology (Rycroft, 2006).The form of technology planning depends on the capabilities and requirements of a specific enterprise, but also on external determinants that affect its internal technological capabilities. Within the formulation of a technology strategy (TS), it is necessary that managers adequately incorporate different dimensions and needs of own technology in TS, but also that technology elements are appropriately designed and substitutable. This article has two main goals. The first is to describe methodically the main specific features and forms of technology planning/TS through a comprehensive study of available professional literature. The second goal is to analyse the development of technology planning methods based on a bibliometrical analysis of ScienceDirect database (1823-2013).
