Abstract
This chapter discusses a theme related to methodological settings, learning and knowledge production in the realm of futures studies and foresight. The author focuses on the synergy that comes from combining an entrepreneurial mindset and transdisciplinary research with organizational and personal knowledge management activities in the context of foresight initiatives and projects. Evolving ideas and concepts to develop research, which deals with the integration of entrepreneurship, foresight and knowledge management, have been put forward in several national-level initiatives, projects and higher education modules in Latvia (2003–2009).
