Special emphasis is placed on a gap between future visions and related actions of politicians and business actors that prevents efficient decision-making on the national level.

They propose an unconventional approach - scenario design of the future. It allows revealing relations between various complex phenomenons, comparing consequences of alternative development pathways and make better decisions.
