During this course, you will study the basic types of futures knowledge.
Expected learning outcomes:
Futures studies can be defined as a systematic study of possible future events and circumstances. Foresight is the perceiving and analysis of the alternative futures and the choices which are related to them. In other words, futures studies and foresight both refer to investigate the futures, and foresight specifically refers to the use of futures research methods and techniques for management purposes.
The course is an independent part of three online futures studies courses. However, if you are not familiar with the basics of future studies, it is recommended that you complete the course ”Introduction to Futures Studies and Foresight”.
