International Journal of Foresight and Innovation Policy

Aims & Scope

IJFIP addresses knowledge creation, diffusion and utilisation in innovation policy, thus covering all types of Strategic Intelligence (SI), defined as the set of actions that search, process, diffuse and protect information to make it available to the right person at the right time to make the right decision.

SI examples in innovation include foresight, forecasting, Delphi studies, technology assessment, benchmarking, R&D evaluation and technology roadmapping.

Use (actual/potential) of the various types/methods of SI (creation/diffusion) in the policy-making process is highlighted.
