Abstract

Strategic Foresight is one of the most effective longterm forecasting tools for companies’ economic and technological development, providing a comprehensive view of the complex and diverse factors determining the dynamics of supply and demand on relevant markets coupled with technological trends. The main feature of Strategic Foresight for companies is a focus not on the identification of the most probable future, but on the formation of a priorities system and the conditions necessary for their implementation — a system of measures in the form of a roadmap and favorable institutional environment.
