@article{23436, abstract = {{AbstractAs time-to-market is getting shorter, customer needs have to be identified as early as possible in product development. Correctly applied, corporate foresight can give a glimpse into the future to anticipate such needs and thus gain a competitive advantage. A support tool to choose the appropriate method of foresight is not available yet. Thus, a literature study on foresight methods in industry is performed and a novel decision support tool is proposed which avoids high entrepreneurial risks. Based on the findings, potentials for future work are identified for different types of methods.}}, author = {{Gräßler, Iris and Thiele, Henrik and Scholle, P.}}, issn = {{2633-7762}}, journal = {{Proceedings of the DESIGN 2020 16th International Design Conference}}, pages = {{569--576}}, publisher = {{Cambridge University Press}}, title = {{{ASSESSING THE FUTURE: METHODS AND CRITERIA}}}, doi = {{10.1017/dsd.2020.278}}, volume = {{1}}, year = {{2020}}, }
