Abstract:
While the concept of foresight has long played an implicit role in the strategy field, theoretical challenges and empirical complexities have largely relegated it to an understudied enigma. However, recent theoretical and methodological advancements have empowered management scholars to begin rigorously examining the behavioral nuances of managerial foresight. In this PDW, we aspire to take stock of the current research and identify a future research agenda in terms of questions and state-of-the-art methods by assembling a set of leading scholars with diverse perspectives and expertise. We anticipate the session will inspire spirited debate and provide continued direction around the existence, limitations, boundaries, measurement, and utility of managerial foresight across individuals, teams, and organizations. The event is poised not only to contribute to the theoretical and empirical foundations of managerial foresight but to also foster new connections, collaborations, and the formation of a dynamic community dedicated to advancing our understanding of this pivotal concept.
