“…The economic aspect overlaps the social aspects of the consumption of cultural products, which leads to an inadequate assessment of the effectiveness of cultural and art organizations in the region. Currently, there are foreign studies that consider precisely the financial benefits of the cultural heritage of a certain territory and offer recommendations for the development of financial models for the cultural sphere (Choi et al, 2010;Schwarz & Liebl, 2013). This approach considers both the cultural product in terms of cost and consumers through the lens of their solvency.…”

The cultural product is the result of creative activity and has economic value and cost. Combining both economic and cultural values makes the cultural product a unique product in the market, which affects the specifics of its production and consumption. At the same time, they ignore social aspects that may affect both production and consumption of cultural products. The study was based on a comprehensive characteristic of the cultural product, taking into account the range of producers, the social orientation of the product itself, the specifics of its production and target settings. The purpose of cultural activity is to preserve cultural experience and its multiplication by producing and broadcasting a cultural product. The subject of cultural activity is not only cultural institutions, but also society. The sphere of culture is a socially oriented sphere both in the field of production and in the field of product consumption. Data obtained as a result of the survey among the residents of Kemerovo showed that personal, infrastructure, economic and information factors prevent the consumption of a cultural product and prevail over incentives. The study presents a model of sustainable consumption of cultural products, which includes the integration interaction of three spheres of human life -education, culture, creativity. In our opinion, the model will contribute to the creation of conditions for the socially oriented sphere of culture; sustained interest in local cultural products; the formation of cultural, creative and social capital that contributes to economic stability and the development of the territory itself.

“…Birtchnell and Urry (2013) has elucidated that the usefulness of the method lies not only in fantasizing about the speculative technologies, but also in encouraging vatic insights into the possible unintended consequences and social practices emerging from people's varied engagements with technology and involvement in innovation. Schwarz and Liebl (2013) have emphasized that technological developments go hand in hand with the changes in sociocultural practices, and expect more evidence on the usage of science fiction prototypes, for example, in detecting weak signals to imagine the future.…”

This position article introduces science fiction prototyping as a thought-provoking method for arousing discussion within and between emerging technology research and foresight. The article introduces the method by demonstrating how it has already been employed within the emerging technology research domain, and how it has encouraged researchers to create science fictional stories that are based on extensive amount of research, relating mostly to their particular field of expertise. The article briefly deliberates the manner of how future studies, foresight and organizational research has already taken up and employed this method. Thereafter the article proceeds with a consideration on how foresight could further advance the future-oriented method to the unexplored fields of research that focus on the wider social, technical and economic areas of the emerging technologies.

“…Graham et al (2013) refer, in the same context, to creative fictional prototypes where storytelling imagery based on science fact is used as a design tool to explore future consequences of innovations, for instance in regard to how people will interact with technology. Schwarz and Liebl (2013) have argued that SF prototypes taken from cultural products are not only valuable in terms of stimulating creativity in an organization, they are also valuable because of their potential for becoming part of the reality constructed by consumers through the processes of diffusion and normalization (Liebl & Schwarz, 2010), and thus eventually being embedded into their worlds. By emphasizing the addition of a socio-cultural perspective of SF prototypes, it is argued that socio-cultural innovation is relevant for the creation of innovative business models (Schwarz & Liebl, 2013).…”

A central question in foresight exercises is how to communicate the derived results effectively, especially when relevant stakeholders cannot be part of the participatory foresight process itself. While visualizations appear to be a central means of communication and engagement, little is known in the context of foresight on the function and dimension of visualizations. By drawing on an empirical study this article presents a framework for using visualizations in foresight and illustrates its application by referring to a case study. The argument is made that by using a dimensional framework the effects of visualization can be leveraged for communicating foresight results and creating stronger buy-in.
