“…In an organizational context, strategic foresight plays a critical role in mapping the way forward with respect to strategic planning and strategy development (Conway 2016), the development of new and innovative products and service concepts (Rohrbeck 2010), the development of new business fields (Rohrbeck 2012), business model innovations and evolution (Pitelis and Wagner 2019), and sustaining an organization’s growth and success in the future (MacKay and Constanzo 2009).

Most of the data created and made available by today’s communication platforms are generated organically without regard to potential insights that could be gained by careful study making such platforms a valuable source of data that may prove to have more validity than self-reports. Word-frequency computerized text-based analysis has been employed to discover the characteristics, traits, and sentiments of populations. The Future City Index (FCI) is an application of this methodology that has implications and relevance for strategic foresight practitioners, policymakers, industry, and urban planners. Currently in development, the FCI ranks cities according to the frequency of meaningful futures-oriented language in daily word use within a determined geographic location.

We explore the relationship between foresight and managerial cognition and the contribution of foresight to the long‐term performance of organizations facing major sources of uncertainty. Our research setting is the automotive industry, a compelling research setting for illustrating and reflecting upon the role of foresight in strategic decision making, as the industry is currently experiencing major drivers of change and technological discontinuities. We carefully examined the most recent empirical and theoretical works in the field of foresight, by conducting a thorough literature review. We found that scholars and practitioners increasingly emphasize the ability of foresight to change the mental models of senior managers and the role of such ability in the long‐term adaptation to external changes. Overall, our study contributes to the development of a programmatic stream of research in the domain of foresight and future studies.
