The point that we want to raise in this paper, is that they are in many cases not empowered and encouraged to do so.
We also asked (on a five-point scale) how important they considered the fulfilment of their reported need to be.
an unfulfilled need and high importance attached to the solving of this need (as their score on the importance attached to the fulfilment was 4 or 5 on a five-point scale,

but they are equally relevant for policy-makers at the point of defining policies in support of the creatiiv content sector development.
The addition of a scenario process emerged at that point as a necessary new building block to our adaptiiv foresight methodology.
and point to the need for new approaches for exploring the futuur of such fast-changing areas.
Can you point to any major policy, economic or scientific impacts that you believe can be attributte to a national foresight program?

The four locations were at different distances from the access point, corresponding with different signal strengths (dbm).
Immediiatel after the completion of each scenario, the test users were asked to fill in a short experiennc questionnaire of six questions (five-point scales),
Drawiin on results selected from three distinct points of user involvement in the process of developing new products (i e. opportunity identification, concept evaluation and test market),

*Originally ordinal variable measured separately for product and process innovations on a five-point Likert scale (1=very small, 5=very high.
A further interesting point, particularly for policy-makers, is subsidized that firms seem to be significantly more innovative especially in terms of new products than non-subsidized ones.

The ordinal variable was measured originally separately for product and process innovations on a five-point Likert scale (1=very small, 5=very high;
and a planning approach that attempts to identify innovation application points. These features impact directly on the client's perceived ability and engagement.
This paper addresses the following two key points: Firstly, we consider intangibles (see Section 2). An informal
which present controversial points. As far as governance is concerned conflicts may occur between new democratic practices, technological expertise and scientific freedom.
The main point here is: when and how are these three concepts interconnected? We can say that they are interconnnecte every time the need arises to identify possible futures
and incorporates different visions into the foresight process, different points of view, contributing to the success of the entire exercise and to the quality of the final results.
In other words, experiences and facts are the key points to perceiving and understanding intangibles. This paper will focus on strategic foresight, taking advantaag of CGEE's background in conducting strategic foresiigh exercises and strategic evaluation studies during the past decade, all of
'Usually, at this point, the purpose of the methodological approach is to listen, interpret and understand the client's needs, desires and preoccupations.
pointing out where participants find the most difficult points and where revisions of mind-sets are expected,
the priority issues and critical questions comprise the key points. This starts with the correct identification of factors associated with the subject under analysis, including its nature and scope, time horizon, intended applications of the results by clients etc.
and mapping controversial points, which will require a more elaborate implementation strategy. It is also an opportunnit to convey non-classified results to a broader audience, through the dissemination of information via the Internet or by means of publications, seminars, confereence etc.
In some cases they may even be encouraged by the government, letting experts point to problem areas
One rectifying step would be to better consider the structural and functional aspects of innovattio systems with a view to identifying bottlenecks and appropriate points for effective policy intervention.

The special nature of horizon scanning activities points to the importance of continuity to increase the relevance, validity and timeliness of the information.
As Choo (2001) points out, horizon scanning is a long-term investment that needs a critical mass of talent and resources.
On this point, Weick (1995) argues that sense-making is not mere interpretation: in fact, it is less about discovery and more about invention.
