Therefore, one of the challenges is to merge a methodological approach emphasising structural uncertainty with a real option analysis without the necessity of an optimal market.

The methodological approach is rather innovative and therefore neither broadly applied nor accepted. In the area of standardisation, it is applied already in various contexts.

These insights can then be used as input for other methodological approaches in regulatory foresight, e g. surveys or Delphi studies. 503 K. Blind/Technological forecasting & Social Change 75 (2008) 496 516 3. 2. Surveys 3. 2. 1. Introduction and definition

but also the methodological approaches used in their analysis vary greatly. There are few attempts to aggregate futures data

While methodological approaches are covered well in the academic literature, less attention has been paid to studying the use, impacts and effectiveness of scenario planning in public policy-making.

A diversity of methodological approaches has been applied in a large number of case studies testing to the vibrancy of the field.

in terms of its methodological approach, Finnsight was unique thanks to the extensive combination of internet-based questionnaires and facilitated workshops.

In hindsight, the development of novel methodological approaches in Finnsight most notably the definition of dedicated units of analysis (driving forces, focus areas of competences) and the extensive deployment of internet-based tools for engaging the panel

The consultation of experts as a methodological approach to the study of the future of law resulted in a very original and creative exercise.

The paper presents and develops three methodological approaches (indicator-based approaches, surveys and foresight studies Delphi methodology and scenarios) that are adequate to conduct regulatory foresight,

Schirrmeister and Warnke 14 contribute towards building foresight capacities for systemic and structural transformations by proposing an original methodological approach that combines four specific features:

In this context, combining methodological approaches creates opportunities to complement the weaknesses inherent to the use of one single approach with strengths of other approaches.

Our use of a reflexive methodological approach with three complementary questions on policy change, supported the grouping of different approaches of developing

Apart from these general recommendations, individuua papers presented at the conference proposed a wide variety of methodological approaches that could improve policy impact.

The high degree of uncertainty and the flexibility of the methodological approach also demanded that impact assessment

This is coherent with the methodological approach of adaptive foresight that foresees a phase of internal debate of policy implications by the client (or other stakeholder),

discussing each concrete methodological approach. In addition, we illustrate how a living lab setting can be complemented successfuull by other research methods.

In this stage, a similar methodological approach was taken as in stage 1. In this case-study, it was only signal strength that was perceived related to experiience with the aim of showing that there might be a relation between Qoe and Qos.

Secondly, in Section 3, we consider the strategic foresiigh methodological approach. As mentioned before, the wisdom of conducting given strategic foresight exercises, irrespective of its complexity,

A key factor in success is to start the exercise after a robust collective planning Step in the pre foresight phase of this methodological approach (see Section 4),

The initial phase of the methodological approach has the sole purpose of improving the shared understanding about

In addition, this methodological approach was based on the perception that decision-making emerges from a negotiaatio between multiple actors.

There are a number of key elements embedded in this methodological approach. Firstly, and most important, stakeholders must be involved in the exercise from the very beginning (Eriksson and Weber 2008.

'Usually, at this point, the purpose of the methodological approach is to listen, interpret and understand the client's needs, desires and preoccupations.

A number of examples from studies developed by CGEE are presented in Table 1 to show the application of the methodological approach.

Thus, the use of the conceptual and methodological approach of strategic foresight to set strategic priorities and action plans

Some important changes and adaptations to the methodological approach were required, and are described briefly below. Figure 5. Methodological process for development of FINEP's SMP. 254.

The methodological approach assured, through the participatory process, commitment of an expressive contingent of internal and external stakeholders,

Methodological approaches are to be consistent with scientific standards to attract participation and provide for stable engagement with academic stakeholders..

The vocal satisfaction expressed by the workshop participants suggests that there is considerable potential in carrying out similar or analogous exercises based on the same methodological approach.

Overall, it appears the methodological approach in this exercise which had well-defined phases for the systematic‘bottom-up'scanning of issues
