Synopsis: Framework: Conceptual framework:

Based on a conceptual framework on the role of standards in the innovation process they derive that in a new emerging technology at first terminology standards,

In parallel, given that developments in the above spheres are associated strongly with the evolution of‘participatory knowledge societies',this paper presents an interpretation of foresight process impacts within a conceptual framework that attempts to characterise such societies.

Additionally, such an interpretation is conceived as a step towards the development of a conceptual framework aimed at understanding the dynamics of‘foresight systems'.

As a starting point, a conceptual framework is presented which outlines the major characteristics of emerging knowledge societies. This is based on a review of the available literature.

and goal attainment levels. 2. A conceptual framework to characterise emerging knowledge societies The findings of the literature review on the major characteristics of the emerging knowledge societies suggest that the characteristics

and risk societies are synthesised into a conceptual framework describing a more participatory‘knowledge society'.'This conceptual framework is illustrated in Fig. 1. 5 The three main groups of characteristics are illustrated by the three inner circles.

The conditions enhancing the development of each of these three broad groups of elements are shown by the second inner circles,

'The identification of such areas was the subject of the second part of 5 This conceptual framework will be validated via interviews with experts in relevant fields. 6 For an analysis of the major findings of the literature review,

'4. From the conceptual framework to an objectives hierarchy The conceptual framework used to characterise emerging knowledge societies

'This in turn can be used to develop an objectives hierarchy that maps the links between the elements of the conceptual framework.

A conceptual framework of this nature sheds light on the dynamics of foresight programmes and helps identify the principles

The examination of foresight process impacts within a conceptual framework characterising participatory‘knowledge societies'provides indications that foresight can contribute to the emergence of such societies in terms of:

One conceptual framework to structure the oftentimes messy processes of policy-making is the concept of the policy cycle 14.

It builds on a conceptual framework developed in a project of the European Network of Excellence PRIME5

our findings offer the broad outline of a conceptual framework regarding how decision-makers match strategic foresight with environmental uncertainty.

in order to improve the construct and internna validity of our conceptual framework. However, much additional research must be done for improving and expanding this conceptual framework through the study of environmental uncertaiint and foresight activities in other industries and firms.‘

‘Boundary'uncertainty in particular offers interesting avenues for further investigation. Our arguments suggest that a crucial issue is the ability to distinguish continuous drivers of change from discontinuous ones.

we introduce a conceptual framework of national traditions and governance culture for analysing foresight and priority setting in science,

first, we present the conceptual framework of the study; secondly, we give an overview of similar studies.

Conceptual framework Technology policy: public fiscal policies to support innovation Most OECD countries use large amounts of public funds to support activities that are intended to enhaanc innovation in the business sector.

an appropriate conceptual framework needs to be developed. We propose an approach which frames the wider societal requirements for FTA within specific forms of FTA systems,

and categories of the conceptual framework in order to identify emerging patterns and issues. The analysis will clarify the potential of different institutional models for tackling different types of future requirements.

It also points to key conceptual conclusions. 2. Conceptual framework: Capturing new types of FTA systems in the light of specific circumstances This section introduces the conceptual framework for subseqquen analysis of recent empirical research on FTA systems.

Different types of contextual transformations that pose challenges for FTA systems are identified, taking into account the wider institutional setting and co-evolution of different governance modes.

and organisational models of FTA In defining our conceptual framework, three ideal-type organisational models for FTA can be identified,

and strategies for, handling disruptive and structural transformations. 2. 4 Framework for analysis of FTA systems The three dimensions introduced in the previous sections constitute the conceptual framework for analysing the suitabiilit of different types of FTA systems
