Technology foresight for wiring up the national innovation system: experiences in Britain Australia and New Zealand
Since 1990, technology foresight has spread rapidly. We begin by analyzing the reasons for this before examining the specific political background to technology foresight in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The article analyzes and compares the approaches to foresight in these countries, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. We then propose a new rationale for technology foresight, which centers on its role in 'wiring up' and thereby strengthening the national innovation system, before arriving at a number of conclusions.
