The article
starts with various definitions of technology foresight from the literature and
new definition is given by the authors. Prominent definitions of foresight are
analyzed and given according to their different elements in the literature. By
assessing the evolution of foresight as a term and its five generations through
time, the foresight of sixth generation is set forth. Based on the literature
analysis, foresight generations are grouped into four main categories.
Foresight frameworks are analyzed and a generic foresight functional model with
nine consecutive phases named ‘FORESIGHT’ is suggested. Functions in the
FORESIGHT model are matched with the phases of main foresight frameworks in the
literature based on their actions and artifacts within specific phases. It is
like a guide for practitioners of which activities are carried out in foresight
studies.
