Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Foresight Study'

Background: Foresight is a vague concept with several definitions. There is barely any existing practical evidence of how it should be conducted or what effect it could have on a company’s performance. Due to the lack of research done, a study within the field was justified. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to investigate and measure if, and how, foresight practices influence company’s financial performance. Method and theory: A theoretical framework was established in order to compile knowledge about the field. These theories were used as a basis for upcoming in-depth interviews. To make foresight measureable the foresight maturity model was applied in order to assess the company’s foresight practices and to compare it with financial performance. The financial performance was assessed by doing an archival analysis on the company’s annual reports. Findings: The study indicated that foresight practices were limited within the studied companies. However, all the companies used it to some extent. Conclusion: The practices of foresight are greatly contextual and a clear relationship between how the foresight practices affect financial performance is difficult to map out and is need of further research. Tendencies of foresight practices influencing financial performance were however noticed. These tendencies indicated that there is a positive relationship between foresight practices and financial performance.

Background: The traditional approach of strategy emphasizes the role of planning as a main driver for success. Thus, in an environment with a low propensity for change, managers are able to predict the market evolution and therefore allocate wisely their resources in order to optimize the company's actions. However, markets are substantially more dynamic and managers are faced with higher and more complex level of uncertainty. In such climates, anticipating and understanding change is becoming increasingly relevant and top companies are not just competing in the present, but also into the future. Purpose: To uncover and discuss how companies can enhance their strategies through procedures for anticipating and more appropriately preparing for change. This will consist of understanding how companies gain foresight and relevant types of information about potential future changes, how companies understand what these changes mean in terms of their context and their future, and, finally, how they respond once they have gained an understanding. Methodology: The research has a qualitative approach and is based four case studies. Both secondary and primary data were used. The primary data collection was conducted with through structured interviews. Conclusions: Managers need not resort to costly or time consuming tools for enhancing their foresight insight and their strategies. Instead, they should constantly be aware of inherent biases, use counterfactual thinking and challenge their own mental models as well as the resulting views and understandings. Without doubting the mental models first and foremost, companies can innovate only incrementally. Furthermore, managers need to understand the potential of open foresight and the power within the company’s networks. In this way, they can distance themselves from the trend-impact-reaction cycle. Finally, companies should adopt a more anticipatory approach, rather than one which sustains the industry on order to better shield their strategies from disruptive change.

This thesis is a foresight study of alternative futures for Institutes of Technology within the Irish higher education system. The research focuses on the potential role and functions for the Institute of Technology sector in 2020. A strategic foresight methodology employing scenario design as the theoretical framework is applied. The general goals and contribution of the research are: to present foresight as a strategic methodology; to record developments and present a . snapshot' of the operating environment of the Institutes of Technology, including higher education trends, and agendas to 2010, and subsequently 2020; to present scenario narratives and alternative future paths for the Institutes of Technology to 2020; and, finally, to invite discussion on the future alternatives for the role and functions of the Institutes of Technology. The key purpose is to offer insights that may assist policy makers in choosing appropriate strategies for higher education in Ireland in 2020. The research identifies two significant challenges (critical uncertainties) relevant to the future determination of the role and functions of the Institutes of Technology for 2020, namely the structure of the higher education system and the relevance of teaching and/or research. As a consequence, four alternative scenarios are outlined: Stratocumulus, a dual higher education system consisting of Community Colleges that are aligned with and act as feeder colleges to the traditional research-orientated Universities; Altostratus, a stratified higher education system consisting of National Technological Universities and traditional research Universities; Altocumulus, a binary higher education system consisting of regionally aligned Institutes of Technology and traditional research-orientated Universities; and, Cirrostratus, a unitary higher education system consisting solely of Universities, where a hierarchy based on reputation has emerged in relation to research. Finally, there is a postscript discussion on factors relevant to choosing a particular scenario as a strategic option for higher education in Ireland to 2020.

In the UK many industries are suffering as a result of business being lost to competition abroad. Raising the technical content of a company’s product or service may enable them to increase its competitiveness and hence retain or even increase business. A Trade Association exists to represent the interests of its members. One way that this can be realized is by provision of technical information to its members to support raising the technical content of their members’ products or services. The provision of technical information entails sourcing information, collecting it and then disseminating it in an appropriate format. Ways of undertaking this are identified. The factors that are likely to influence the provision of technical information are determined. This is so that a Trade Association can build upon its strengths, diminish weaknesses, exploit opportunities and avoid threats. A strategy for provision of engineering technical information to trade association members was given. Four mechanisms were implemented on a test-bed Trade Association; utilising information technology communication capabilities, newsletters, collaborations and conferences. Feedback and parameters were used to assess the strategy chosen for implementation on the test-bed. Taking this into consideration a revised strategy was established that can be adapted and applied by Trade Associations who wish to provide such a service in the future.

Recentemente o setor da construção civil no Brasil vem apresentando um ritmo intenso de crescimento, cujo dinamismo se deve às mudanças institucionais e a evolução do cenário macroeconômico. O volume crescente das obras tem pressionado os setores de insumos e alguns reflexos disto já foram sentidos, como problemas localizados de abastecimento e de variação dos preços de alguns materiais. Neste cenário insere-se a presente pesquisa, de caráter exploratória, que se propõe a realizar o diagnóstico do setor de produção e comercialização de insumos (materiais) da Cadeia Produtiva da Construção Habitacional, segundo os princípios do conceito de prospecção tecnológica. O método básico de pesquisa correspondeu às pesquisas bibliográfica e descritiva, utilizando-se da pesquisa de campo para a obtenção de dados atualizados. Para realizar o diagnóstico foi adotado um modelo conceitual de prospecção tecnológica de análise de cadeias produtivas, proposto por Castro & Lima (2001). Os principais resultados obtidos foram modelagem, análise de desempenho, identificação dos fatores críticos, respectivas forças impulsoras e restritivas e, por fim, a determinação de gargalos do setor. O estudo mostra que todos os segmentos deste setor estão direcionando seus esforços na busca da eficiência produtiva, como meio de garantir o fornecimento de seus produtos ao setor da construção. Quanto ao método adotado, pode-se concluir que apresenta forte potencial de ser utilizado para análise dos setores e cadeias produtivas que compõe o complexo industrial de materiais de construção.
The Brazilian construction sector has recently been showing intense growth, and its dynamism is due to institutional changes and evolution in the macroeconomic scenario. The increasing volume of new constructions has put pressure on the construction materials sectors and some consequences of this situation have already been noticed, such as local supply problems and variation in the price of some materials. This explorative research is inserted in this scenario and aims to make a diagnosis of the production and sales sectors of materials in the house construction production chain, using the concept of technological foresight. The method is based on bibliographical and descriptive researches, also using field data collection to gather up-to-date information. The conceptual model proposed by Castro & Lima (2001) of technological foresight for production chain analysis was adopted. The main results were the modeling, performance analysis, identification of critical factors, their respective driving and restrictive forces and, finally, the determination of bottlenecks in the sector. The study shows that all segments of the construction sector are focusing their efforts to obtain production capacity efficiency, so as to guarantee the supply of their products. It can be concluded that the adopted method shows strong potential to be used to analyze production chains in the construction materials industry.

In order to develop economy, Taiwan has set the foresight plans for economic growth. Since the economic growth is related to mineral resources, the foresight plans should involve mineral issues. The purpose of this study is to combine the public policy and the STEEPV analysis to formulate the minerals policy. This study includes two steps of public policy progress. First, we use STEEPV methodology to analyze the mining environment of Taiwan to define the problems. Then, we use questionnaire method and foreign minerals policy analysis to propose policy direction in line with Taiwan's foresight minerals industry. The vision of foresight minerals policy in Taiwan is the sustainable mineral resources. In order to achieve the vision, a principle” The highest standards of environment and technology, and the minimum guarantee of supply and demand” is made. Four directions are including in the principle, which are the stability supply of raw materials, the demand for the mineral productions, the environmental protection, and the technological enhance. We follow these four directions to give policy recommendations to the government. We hope this paper can convince the government to formulate sustainable minerals policy.

In response to future external environmental challenges and gather consensus on national development, developed and developing countries have endeavored on foresight projects respectively over the past thirty years to set national direction of development and allocate R&D resources through a standardized operational model. However, the major national foresight programs with 4-5 year as a cycle have confronted many challenges including prolonged planning time resulting in not keeping up with the ever-changing environment; massive resource investment not suitable for countries with limited resources; and bottlenecks such as operability of planning process connecting to the follow-up project promotion. In addition, in the national foresight planning, technology development and acquisition are two crucial competitive advantages for countries. However, countries confront three challenges, i.e., uncertainties of technology development, uncertainties of external environment, and how to maintain strategic flexibility in carrying out technology strategic planning in the rapid-changing environment. In this thesis, we have two major topics. In the first topic, we focus on the national foresight methodology and propose a dynamic modular design perspective to overcome such difficulties and demonstrate the process and achievements of foresight planning with 2020 Taiwan Foresight Project as an example. In the second topic, we focus on the technology strategy analysis for the national foresight and propose Scenario Strategy Matrix (SSM)、 Scenario Sensitivity Matrix (SSM) and Scenario Sensitivity Index (SSI) as instruments and discuss the technology development strategy under scenarios change with selection of emerging technologies for Taiwan in 2020 as a case.

Cooper & Klein had done an investigation in rate of depletion of NPD(new product development), however, the result indicated that four out of seven projects of NPD could proceed to developing phase, while only 1.5 had a chance to step into mass production. At the end only one product would be successful. In such environment full of uncertainties and risks, NPD is a costly activity with high failure rate. Under such circumstances, how to choose highest priority for future products to create greatest value will be the key successful factor to product planning model. Technology roadmap is a structural tool for technology forecasting that has been developed for a decade to define the challenges of product and technology that enterprises will face in the future. At the same time it helps come up with solutions. Through this process, enterprises focus their resources only on developing current priority technology in order to integrate product development plans, creating value for customers. This study will be in a perspective of product planning strategy, using technology roadmap developed by Institute of Manufacturing Technology of University of Cambridge, combining with scenario planning and patent analysis. We want to simplify the complex process of new product planning by using simple charts and point out the goal of new product roadmap by a simple model, providing the industry as a strategic thinking tool for NPD. Case study is to find out developing trend of next-generation product features in six different scenarios of digital home for H home appliance manufacturer through five steps of product planning model. First, realize home appliance industry current status. Then focus on digital home scenarios by using scenarios planning to explore the impact of digital home needs in product features. Next step, assess technical capability of product features by analyzing technology development. Finally, to summarize that the strategic plan for next generation digital home products with patent analysis lies in health care fields. The product planning model provides enterprises integrated information from the market demand, technology as well as patents. At same time it’s easy to maintain and reproduce, expecting the model can contribute to practical product planning slightly.

There is a period of time of project management development. However, the failure rate of project is still high. So there are many researchers made a lot of studies about critical success factors to project management. Because we still do not have a general conclusion, there are also a lot of studies and results. We tried to analyze the CSFs to project management by meta analysis. We collected papers from 8 SSCI Journals of MIS, which ale related to CSFs of project management, to conduct an integrated architecture of CSFs to project management. We also added collaboration theory as the new construct to the architecture to be an index of project management evaluation. We tried to complete the architecture of CSFs to project management evaluation to be a reference in further study. We also tried to provide a new think to practical operation to raise the success rate of project.

For the preliminary plan of research and development technology, we put forward to integrate strategy layout with new technology development, market analysis, management strategy, combined with technological roadmap. In the Southeast Asian market, the arcade game market is facing many challenges, especially in these two directions： The face of the low-cost strategy in China, and local competition products to use richer picture effects, which would decline the market product. The problem is that pirates sell the copy screen or act as the middleman in the sales. In order to strengthen the market competitiveness of products, we would prevent these two problems by technical strategy which means to combine the technical and market aspects. We put forward two solutions to the low-cost strategy in China. First, adopt the localization of the market design to adjust the game suit for the local market culture and humanities. Because the original design game lock to markets in Taiwan and China, there are differences with Southeast Asia in segmented products and low-priced products. And the local design concept will get closer to meet the market players’ demand. Second, import the latest graphics API(Application Programming Interface), so that the competition of existing screen and comprehensive efficiency will beyond other competitors and can make full use of core technologies to save resources. There are two ways to explain the local pirates. First, pirates copy the original game design from the original manufacturer. Second, the pirates earn the difference through the way of the purchase of goods from China to sell to Southeast Asia, which also disrupt the market. We will use the latest protection mechanism design ARM TEE(Advanced RISC Machine Trusted Execution Environment) that protecting by digital signature and system technology IOT LTE(Internet of Things Long Term Evolution)that using GSM(Global System for Mobile Communications) system with the telecommunications business positioning function embedded as the game host, and RFID(Radio Frequency Identification )implanted into PCB(Printed circuit board) function, so that PCB is easy to manage, and product after-sales service and tracking is more convenient. The arcade game are booming in the new markets, we must to be well prepared to meet the market challenges. Although those undeveloped country have lower threshold in technology, many small manufacturers face vicious competition. Aimed at these two kinds of situation, we use the above strategies to solve the product problems in local market. This study also describes the new technology applied to the new ecological chain market.

Many people do not like thinking about the future. If they do, over 50% of Canadians think “our way of life” (p. 7) will end within 100 years and over 80% of Canadians think “we need to change our worldview and way of life if we are to create a better future for the world” (Randle & Eckersley, 2015, p. 9). There is a good reason for this. Alarms have sounded over global urgent complex problems with potential for catastrophic consequences such as the development of artificial intelligence, climate change, mass extinction, nuclear war and pandemics (Marien & Halal, 2011). Society is also increasingly fragmenting as imminent crises build on lack of understanding, the sense of incapacity to act, fear, distrust, blame and a lack of hope. This struggle for humanity’s survival is complicated by the turbulent global environment in which institutions continue to follow path-dependent trajectories set forth in a different time and context. Governments at various levels face a problem of “fit” between current structures and processes, that have not progressed sufficiently to meet changing needs of a global society mired in complexity and governance challenges. However, hope exists. Incremental progress on many fronts and a massive amount of efforts and resources are being engaged worldwide. There are emerging fields, lenses and tools that can potentially alleviate complex problems and address this emergency. The purpose of this dissertation is to understand and assess dialogue-based foresight practices being applied towards complex problems in Canada to provide insights into how these practices can assist society to alleviate global urgent complex problems and their impacts, within this backdrop of looming crises. Foresight, alternatively known as future studies or scenario-building, is a forward-looking practice recognized and used globally with over 100 research organizations focused on foresight, widespread usage by firms and over 18 countries involved in foresight activities (Berze, 2014b). Overall literature findings suggest foresight is widely and at least incrementally effective with a number of impacts in various areas (Calof, Miller, & Jackson, 2012; March, Therond, & Leenhardt, 2012; Meissner, Gokhberg, & Sokolov, 2013) but the extent of this effectiveness, the mechanisms involved, and the specific foresight benefits per type of project needs further research and evidence. For instance, limited literature exists on whether foresight can transform complex situations and if so, under what conditions. Thus, opportunities exist for assessing and increasing foresight’s impact. This dissertation is a contextualized, systematic empirical study that taps into transdisciplinary literature and practice, case studies of how foresight has been used to address specific types of complex problems in Canada, as well as surveys and interviews with foresight experts and participants. This dissertation uses a foresight community scan and a comparative case study approach to provide practical and theoretical benefits to foresight and complex problem area stakeholders. The research focuses on studying the broad interactions of foresight and identifying the impacts of dialogue-based foresight projects on people and the outcomes of complex problems. The dissertation concludes that dialogue-based foresight is a valuable and unique practice for ameliorating complex problems and their consequences. Insights are offered towards dialogue-based foresight’s potential contributions within the context of other efforts directed at humanity’s struggle for survival and global complex problems. These insights can then foster the further development and application of dialogue-based foresight on a global scale to alleviate complex problems and their effects. The dissertation outlines recommendations on key next steps to realize these potential contributions.

Recently, countries implement National Foresight Programes and invest in research and development to achieve competitive advantage and enhance social welfare. Meanwhile, organizations integrate multi-discipline foresight knowledge to help decision making and switch the focus from technology foresight to strategic foresight. This study aims to combine theories and concepts from strategic management, foresight and futures research methodology three fields. Corresponding to the level of methodology, related theories/concepts, stages/process and methods/steps are introduced. By applying scenario planning, markov chain and dynamic programming, a four-stage, thirty-one-process foresight model is constructed. Taken together, this study establishs a comprehensive and consistent foresight model. Based on vision, organizations determine its long-term future benchmarks and understand the transformation of key factors with interaction between driving forces, events and issues through the extention of markov process. Next, organizations can capture key factors and therefore sense trends to build alternative scenarios. Last, organizations may use dynamic programming or backcasting methods to draw out the most appropriate develepomental path and recognize the timing of alignment. All in all, this model points out how and when to systemically take futures research methods to solve specific problems and formulating strategies to shape and achieve preferable future states.

The design of compulsory schooling is a construct of the Industrial Revolution that has changed little over time. Many educational experts now believe schooling and the systems around schooling need major overhaul. The purpose of this thesis was to examine how futures methodologies may be utilised to create new models of schooling. The overall research question, “What if compulsory education was a 21st century invention?” was framed as a counterfactual problem and explored through a set of five papers in this thesis by publication. The first peer-reviewed paper describes findings from the systematic reviews of empirical studies comparing traditional and alternative approaches to instruction or assessment, as part of examining the potential for compulsory schooling to be redesigned. Counterfactual thinking and foresight strategy were utilised to identify sixteen weak signals for future practice. The second paper, a peer-reviewed book chapter, conceptualises possible models for a future system of compulsory schooling arising from an analysis of contemporary catalysts for remodelling. A comparative analysis of cities that have been designed utilising sustainable urban ecology concepts provides a springboard for exploring the impact of changing employment, economic, technological and social change on future schooling models by utilising anticipation as a futures approach. The third, fourth (peer-reviewed) and fifth (peer-reviewed) papers share findings from a modified Delphi process that sought responses from an expert panel to the overall research question, including what might be changed or lost in relation to (a) the purpose of schooling, (b) the role of teacher and learner, (c) physical design, and (d) system design. A framework of 29 Future School Elements and five scenarios have been distilled to inform future schooling models. Respectively, the papers describe (i) the use of participant developed scenarios to extend the traditional objective of seeking consensus using Delphi processes, (ii) a futures approach to policy making, and (iii) the use of backcasting to establish preferred futures for schooling.

With the area scaling of CMOS semiconductors reaching its physical limits, the entire electronics industry is facing the inevitable end of Moore’s Law. TSMC is currently one of just three semiconductor manufacturers, along with Intel and Samsung, that continue to push the physical limits at the leading edge of semiconductor technology development. At present, it is expected that TSMC will develop 1 nanometer technology around the year 2027, but beyond this time, there is great uncertainty as to the future development of semiconductor technologies and, in turn, the development of the electronic devices and emerging technologies which rely on semiconductors. Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of things (IoT), blockchain including cryptocurrency mining, and automotive electronics in autonomous vehicles have been identified as possible growth drivers for the semiconductor industry over the next decade. Given the technology uncertainty associated with the end of Moore’s Law and uncertainty surrounding market demand, the commercial success of these emerging technologies is uncertain. The current case study utilizes scenario analysis to develop four plausible scenarios based on the key uncertainties facing TSMC in the year 2030. These key uncertainties include; 1) the presence, or lack thereof, of a manufacturing breakthrough in semiconductor manufacturing, and 2) the strength of the market for semiconductor products. Given the resulting four scenarios, a Technology Portfolio Planning (TPP) Delphi survey was administered for each scenario in which internal and external experts to TSMC assessed the importance and risk of the identified emerging technologies in the year 2030. The findings of the study are four-fold. The first finding: Scenario 1 (Digital Utopia) which combines a strong technology market with a technological breakthrough in semiconductor manufacturing has the most Premier Approach technologies and is the best-case scenario for TSMC. On the contrary, scenario 4 (Digital Desert) lacks a semiconductor breakthrough and envisions a weak downstream market and is the worst-case scenario for TSMC. The second finding: Artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), artificial general intelligence (AGI), collaborative-aware Internet of things (IoT), and public blockchain are reliant on a technology breakthrough to achieve their full market potential. Identity-related IoT and Ubiquitous IoT including smart city applications rely on a strong market for widespread adoption. Information-aggregation IoT and automotive electronics are both technology-driven and market-driven and will require a technology breakthrough and a strong market to achieve their greatest potential. The third finding: Automotive electronics have the highest average importance across the four scenarios and ANI provides the lowest level of risk among the emerging technologies analyzed. The fourth finding: A modified TPP model which integrates equilibrium lines in the original TPP model can describe investment group projects in a more detailed manner and is better at identifying managerial implications between various strategic investment opportunities. Finally, based on the results of the analysis, TSMC and other players in the ICT industry can be better prepared to deal with uncertain, but plausible future scenarios in the Post-Moore Era.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the normal colleges in Taiwan confront the challenges of social transformation and demographic changes under the globalization and draw up the educational policy in a foresighted view for the future to foster their advantages for the competition and struggle to survive permanently. The research methods adopted are questionnaire surveys and interviews with experts .The questionnaire titled “on the future development of Taiwan’s educational policy of normal colleges in a foresighted view.” is designed by the author as the research tool. The objects of this survey are mainly experts, personnel of educational administration, administrative personnel of schools and personnel in the industry. According to the replies of the questionnaire, on one hand the research executing the statistic analysis of frequency, the comparative analysis based on the radar diagram of accumulation, and the analysis of regression. On the other hand, the author also interviewed the experts and the scholars in the relevant area to make the investigation more precise and profound. Combining the results of the questionnaire survey and the contents of the interviews，the findings of this research are as follows. 1）In terms of short-term trend，the government should encourage the colleges to develop their own characteristics and to maintain the managing performance and the quality by means of regular evaluation so that the colleges can obtain the greatest benefits. In addition, the courses must combine industry's practices and encourage students to obtain specialized certificates in order to strengthen student's ability of employment. 2）In terms of middle-term trend，the government should lift the limit allowing the students from mainland China to study in Taiwan and the foreign universities to set up independent branches to urge the local general universities to improve the quality due to the market-based competition. Moreover, the government should set up funds to help distinguish the colleges in the educational market and conduct the regional alliance or integration in plural ways for the schools to have the most appropriate scale in operation. 3）In terms of long-term trend，the normal colleges should adopt the legal person management and create an innovative method combining the plural development of life-long education in order to pursue the permanent operation. On the base of the conclusions this research draws, the purpose is to provide the normal colleges and educational administrations with some suggestions and also for the researchers who want to investigate this subject in a foresighted view as well.
