DOI:
https://doi.org/10.24023/FutureJournal/2175-5825/2025.v17i1.932Keywords:
Corporate foresight, Intellectual capital, Dynamic capabilities, Innovation, Competitive advantageAbstract
Purpose: This study aims to identify the evolution of the field of corporate foresight over the last decade and its association with the theme of intellectual capital to capture factors that aid organizations succeed in the long term.
Originality/value: When it refers to foresight and resource-based management, the effect of dynamic capabilities on intangible assets has already been discussed, but there has been no direct mention of futures studies and intellectual capital.
Method: A systematic literature review was performed to investigate works published on the Web of Science database between January 2015 and June 2024.
Results: The relationship with intellectual capital was predominant in structural capital factors of product and process innovations, advanced technologies and management tools. Besides that, anticipatory studies about human and relational capital factors seemed to be relevant for decision-making in future.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that through corporate foresight analysis it was possible to identify the changes needed to improve key intellectual capital factors that can be responsible for differentiating products and services in the market in terms of innovation and competitive advantage.
