 2008 Forum abstracts 

Abstracts

Many of these abstracts on the Oxford Futures Forum website were prepared in advance of receipt of the pre-reading materials and thus lack explicit reference to the scenarios and sense-making literatures. As a result, some delegates are in the process of revising initial abstracts and resubmitting, whilst others are reflecting on how to combine their interest with the Weick/Wack literature in their contributions to the discussions.
