Enhancing Foresight Maturity in SMEs Through Dynamic Capabilities and Strategic Stakeholder Integration
This study identifies key determinants of foresight maturity in manufacturing SMEs, emphasizing the role of dynamic capabilities. Future research could examine the causal relationship between foresight maturity levels and long-term financial performance.
In plain words

Primary research question
What is the relationship between foresight maturity levels and long-term financial performance in manufacturing SMEs?
