Research - Future Orientation

Our current research follows two paths:

with our case studies we aim to identify best practices that contribute to the future orientation of firms
with our survey we want to establish the extent of future orientation practices are implemented in firms today and evaluate if these practices contribute to the long-term success of these companies
