Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Strategic Foresight
A. Marcus · 2014
70/100
👍 Worth It
Marcus condenses scenario planning and strategic foresight into an accessible Palgrave volume that holds up in both classroom and practitioner settings — academic endorsement and business-reader praise coexist here, which is genuinely rare. The 2009 publication date is real friction: some case studies read as dated, and the field has moved. Still worth the time for strategy professionals who want the conceptual foundations rather than the latest trend.
