Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

Futurology is a new notion which has not been thoroughly conceptualized and the related literature is not rich enough. Any concept is built in the course of its particular history by facing the insuring challenges and affairs. To address any concept, understanding the respective challenges seems to be significant. Futurology has been originated from the incapability of the concept of forecasting knowledge, policy making knowledge and knowledge of strategic management in addressing particular challenges that is why the identification of the challenges contributing to this conceptualization seems necessary. This article, focusing on the historical development of the notion of futurology, addresses the failures in forecasting to answer the upcoming questions; thereby the concept of futurology is also treated. The article, of course, revolves around the notion from organizational and national perspectives. As a conclusion, the article suggests a joint approach to employing these concepts in the process of futurology policy-making in organizations.
