About

Yonghan Ju is a prominent researcher in technology management and innovation strategy, with a focus on emerging technologies, patent analysis, and business model development. His most influential work, "Patent-based QFD framework development for identification of emerging technologies and related business models: A case of robot technology in Korea" (2014), has garnered 54 citations, establishing a foundational methodology for linking patent data to strategic decision-making. Ju’s key contributions lie in integrating Quality Function Deployment (QFD) with patent analysis to systematically identify promising technologies and their commercial applications, particularly in robotics and advanced manufacturing. His research provides a practical toolkit for firms and policymakers to anticipate technological trends and align R&D investments with market opportunities. By bridging technical patent intelligence with business model innovation, Ju has advanced the field of technology foresight, enabling more data-driven approaches to innovation management. His work is widely cited by scholars studying patent-based technology roadmapping and strategic planning, reflecting its enduring impact on both academic research and industrial practice. Ju’s framework continues to influence how organizations leverage intellectual property for competitive advantage.
