In the recent decades many disruptive and radical technologies have displaced established technologies. Thus imposing massive challenges on technology-oriented organizations how to manage these technologies. Discontinuous technological change describes the change from an established technology to a radical or disruptive technology.Scholarly contribution is required in terms of defining the possible design options of a technology planning approach as well as contextual factors which influence technology planning´s performance. Further the relationship between contextual factors and design options needs to be analyzed. There is a great need for concrete recommendations of action for technology managers. Therefore in this paper the current version of a framework for developing a context-based technology planning approach is being presented.
