RESUMO

Software importance is growing fast and consistently for many organizations. The growth of software functionality in manufactured products and the emergence of the digital media, convergent spaces comprehending digital content, software, and multi-channels to the market, are recent examples of organizational changes where software assumed a central position for the corporate strategy. Much of current research about software does not explicitly consider the linkages between the software market and their organizational processes; as a consequence, software engineering practice and research is done in a value-neutral setting, and from a developer point of view, different activities are considered equally important for the achievement of corporate goals. This research project analyzes the alignment between strategic objectives and development process at software companies and presents a method to ensure that the development process is aligned with the corporate capabilities required to exploit future market opportunities. The method includes the categorization of different software companies according to their core capabilities and the customization of the Technology Roadmapping technique for software companies. To achieve the proposed goal it was necessary to develop a different approach, in which theories, concepts and models were tested against empirical initiatives, aiming to validate the different elements that constitute the mentioned result. These obtained results are consistent with the proposed objectives, and include a framework to analyze the telecommunication industry, a framework to analyze the software industry, concerning issues such as market, strategic objectives, products and services and development process, and a method to align strategic objectives and development process at software companies.
