In order to ensure the growth of the industry much effort must be devoted to road mapping activities. In such activities demand and price evolution forecasting tools can prove quite useful in order to help in the roadmap refinement and update process. This paper attempts to provide useful guidelines in roadmapping of optical components and considers two models based on diffusion theory and the extended learning curve for demand and price evolution forecasting.}, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {6}, year = {2008}, pages = {815 - 820}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/2488}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/18}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 18, 2008}, }
