Abstract

Foresight and innovation are activities closely linked with each other, the former providing inputs for the latter. However, there have been few attempts to build conceptual and theoretical bridges between these two activities. In this chapter, we present a conceptual model depicting the connections between foresight and innovation activities and learning. Into this broad model we have combined, in a novel way, much-used and well-known concepts and ideas, such as exploration and exploitation, absorptive capacity, three modes of foresight activities, information quality attributes, and information brokerage.
