Economic action in companies is a goal-oriented process of decision-making regarding scarce resources. The goals set in the present are desired states for the future. Other economic entities outside one's own organization, such as suppliers, customers, competitors, or politics, also influence future events through their actions. Today's markets are characterized by significantly higher complexity, dynamism, and discontinuity than just a few decades ago. The discrepancy between current actions, the desired state, and the actual state that occurs are fundamental problems of business administration. In this book, renowned authors demonstrate the future concepts and methods that business administration employs and explore the possibilities for further development to improve future orientation and achieve a more effective and efficient approach.
