We advocate the use of foresight methods as a valuable input to requirements elicitation, with the potential to decrease the number of changes that would...

We obtain the optimal pricing policy of a monopolist marketing successive generations of product advances. We characterize the impact of foresight regarding entry of the second generation product and the technological substitution and market expansion created by the introduction of the second generation product on the optimal pricing policy of the monopolist. We also obtain the optimal pricing ...
