  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>As 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.</jats:p>
