STRATEGIC FORESIGHT AS A TOOL FOR ENSURING LONG-TERM COMPETITIVENESS OF MODERN ORGANIZATIONS

PDF

Abstract

Strategic foresight has become a managerial necessity because volatile markets, technological discontinuities, and geopolitical shocks weaken routine planning horizons in modern organizations. Corporate foresight research has already shown that future- oriented capability is not decorative scanning, but an organizational discipline that shapes strategic intent and resource allocation. The present debate therefore concerns how environmental scanning and scenario planning are converted into long -term competitiveness rather than remaining isolated analytical exercises. Rohrbeck linked foresight maturity to superior anticipation, while Heger and Boman connected foresight routines with organizational resilience. Sardar, Johnstone, and Liddle systematized the literature and confirmed that foresight capability is most effective when embedded in management processes. On this basis, the study aims to explain how strategic foresight functions as a tool for ensuring long-term competitiveness of modern organizations.
