“…Reflecting this shift a type of exercise has emerged that is conceptualised as a social learning process more than a primarily analytical endeavour. Different labels were coined such as "Third Generation Foresight" (Georghiou 2001), "Collective process" (Barré 2001) or "Type C Foresight" (Havas 2005).…”

The paper presents recent insights from the ongoing FORLEARN project 1 , which aims to develop Foresight theory and practise by supporting the sharing of experience ("mutual learning") in Europe. Six functions of Foresight for policy-making are elaborated on:1. Informing policy: generating insights regarding the dynamics of change, future challenges and options, along with new ideas, and transmitting them to policy-makers as an input to policy conceptualisation and design.2. Facilitating policy implementation: enhancing the capacity for change within a given policy field by building a common awareness of the current situation and future challenges, as well as new networks and visions amongst stakeholders.3. Embedding participation in policy-making: facilitating the participation of civil society in the policy-making process, thereby improving its transparency and legitimacy.4. Supporting policy definition: jointly translating outcomes from the collective process into specific options for policy definition and implementation.5. Reconfiguring the policy system: in a way that makes it more apt to address long-term challenges.6. Symbolic function: indicating to the public that policy is based on rational information.The relationship between these functions and the tensions that can arise when a Foresight exercise attempts to address more than one function are discussed. Possible approaches for Foresight practice to better achieve the targeted impact on policy-making are outlined and emerging guidelines for improving Foresight practice are presented.

The article starts with various definitions of technology foresight from the literature and new definition is given by the authors. Prominent definitions of foresight are analyzed and given according to their different elements in the literature. By assessing the evolution of foresight as a term and its five generations through time, the foresight of sixth generation is set forth. Based on the literature analysis, foresight generations are grouped into four main categories. Foresight frameworks are analyzed and a generic foresight functional model with nine consecutive phases named 'FORESIGHT' is suggested. Functions in the FORESIGHT model are matched with the phases of main foresight frameworks in the literature based on their actions and artifacts within specific phases. It is like a guide for practitioners of which activities are carried out in foresight studies.

“…As a matter of fact, Hyvarinen and Rautiainen (2007: 206) later adopted this approach by defining BA as "how public R&D funding affects the firm's behaviour, cognitive capacity and learning", whereby they extended those effects beyond the R&D and innovation activities of the firms. Similarly, some other scholars define BA as the change in organisational routines more generally (Georghiou, 2007;Georghiou and Keenan, 2006) but do not articulate their definitions. Finally, Clarysse and his colleagues utilise the concept of learning to define BA (Clarysse et al, 2009).…”
