Abstrakt: Industrial leaders, in order to stay competitive, take decisions on the basis of estimations of what the future socio-economic environment will look like. Several approaches exist for the conduction of studies sought to make this estimation reliable. We distinguish the classical prospective approach, based on works of French philosopher Gaston Berger and approaches combining the works of G. Altshuller with the theory of logistic growth curves. In order to combine the advantages of the two strategies, we suggest the combination of several tools and methods for the “Opportunity Identification phase” of the cited New Concept Development Model. We then conclude the article with an applicative case study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
