Abstract

Purpose: Constant changes in technologies and business models have led organizations to take new strategies to quickly seize opportunities and avoid future destructive risks. Open foresight is one of the new strategies that emphasize both internal and external skills and capabilities, enables organizations to identify new ideas for innovative products and services and overcome the environmental complexities of businesses. The objective of this research is to consider the impact of open futures on open innovation with emphasis on the framework of competitive values.
Method: The research methodology in this paper is based on the Delphi method of experts and panelists and Delphi experts have been used to evaluate the impact of future research knowledge on planning and policy making patterns in planning and development knowledge. This paper is descriptive-explorative and correlational as to the purpose and the processing of data collection and analysis.
Findings: The main achievement of this paper has been to identify priority areas for achieving scientific excellence in the textile industry with the participation of all stakeholders. This article has been able to illustrate the impact of different cultures on futurism and open innovation.
Conclusion: Structural model path analysis indicates that open foresight with a factor of 0.43 has a positive effect on open innovation and that humanistic and developmental cultures are strong drivers for open foresight and open innovation and bureaucratic culture is an obstacle to the success of projects. Open futures and the promotion of open innovation are considered.
