Narrative foresight in technical organizations: epistemological and methodological contributions from a practice of scenario method in Argentina
The following paper explores the experience of narrative Foresight applied to the use of the scenario method in Argentina in the light of the contributions of critical Future Studies concerning the narrative dimension in the last years. This research is specifically focused on analyzing applications of the scenariomethod in an institute of technology development in Argentina (BInstituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria^) using the causal layered analysis as a method of examination and adopting the narrative Foresight approach. We analyze how the narrative approach permeates the scenario method in the process of development, thus increasing the potential usefulness and impact of themethod. Moreover,we also reflect on the utility of this approach in order to increase the strategic vision of complex organizations which are shaped, to a great extent, by linear schemes of thought where the empiric dimension of reality operates with a value of truth.

| Summary: | The following paper explores the experience of narrative
Foresight applied to the use of the scenario method in
Argentina in the light of the contributions of critical Future
Studies concerning the narrative dimension in the last years.
This research is specifically focused on analyzing applications
of the scenariomethod in an institute of technology development
in Argentina (BInstituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria^)
using the causal layered analysis as a method of examination and
adopting the narrative Foresight approach. We analyze how the
narrative approach permeates the scenario method in the process
of development, thus increasing the potential usefulness and impact
of themethod. Moreover,we also reflect on the utility of this
approach in order to increase the strategic vision of complex
organizations which are shaped, to a great extent, by linear
schemes of thought where the empiric dimension of reality
operates with a value of truth. |
