Matthew J. Spaniol, Nicholas J. Rowland · 24 Oct 2018

Abstract Scholars claim that futures and foresight science should overcome “confusion” regarding the definition of core concepts, for example, the scenario. Admittedly, defining scenario has been a challenge. Current practice, which results in repeated attempts to clarify said confusion with yet another new definition of scenario, has apparently not advanced the field. An alternative option…

Horizon Scanning in Foresight – Why Horizon Scanning is only a part of the game

Corporate foresight as a microfoundation of dynamic capabilities

Jan Oliver Schwarz, René Rohrbeck, Bernhard Wach · 23 Dec 2019

Abstract The dynamic capabilities perspective is aimed at explaining how firms achieve and sustain competitive advantages, especially in environments that become volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). In this paper, we combine factors that explain dynamic capabilities on the firm level with factors of dynamic managerial capabilities on the individual level. In addition to the…
