Future studies are currently one of the hottest topics as we are living in the extremely fast-changing world. Lack of resources, global structural economic changes, digitalization, artificial intelligence are the things which are currently shaping our lives. Business leaders have to anticipate future changes and make use of them.

Thus, we could adapt our strategies to grab the opportunities and avoid negative consequences.”
