Abstract: In this proposal we define the framework and process of a future driven strategy work that can generate competitive advantage through the application of foresight methods. Specific attention is placed on the innovation process as by utilizing scenario methodology the strategy process and the innovation process can be intertwined and the gained competitive advantage maximized. The concept of the Innovation Wheel illustrates the interaction between foresight efforts, concept generation and strategic thinking. In empirical field work our focus is on supporting the existing innovation processes of the companies with a tailored combination of scenario and concept development tools. In the last chapter brief applications of the process are introduced.
Abstract: During the last few years we have seen that strive for the short term profits in financing sector have put the whole world economy into brink of collapse.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore how multi-site collaboration is performed using transnational practices. The aim is to expose how organisations can achieve global dynamic capabilities through the use of transnational practices. The paper is based on practice and dynamic capabilities theorising, while the context is International Professional Service Firms (IPSFs) where several practice based studies have been conducted. The main findings of the paper show that transnational practices are in use to perform necessary service work. Transnational practices are enhanced when specialisations are located at different places and when people use their pre-existing networks. These networks are enabled through structures such as pre-arranged social gathering and training sessions. Transnational practices become strategic when they can be the organisational global dynamic capabilities.
