Abstract

The development of scenario analysis (SA) to assist decision makers and stakeholders has been growing over the last few years through mainly exploiting qualitative information provided by experts. In this study, we present SA based on the use of qualitative data for strategy planning. We discuss the potential of SA as a decision-support tool, and provide a structured approach for the interpretation of SA data, and an empirical validation of expert evaluations that can help to measure the consistency of the analysis. An application to a specific case study is provided, with reference to the European organic farming business.

Le développement de scénarios analytiques pour aider les preneurs de décision est une technique de plus en plus utilisée, notamment pour la capture des informations qualitatives fournies par les experts. Dans cet article, nous étudions l’utilisation de l’analyse des scénarios pour la planification stratégique. Nous étudions cette technique comme source d’aide à la décision, et proposons une approche structurée pour l’interprétation des scénarios et leur validation empirique. Une application à un cas de prise décision spécifique dans le domaine agro-alimentaire organique est étudiée.
