Scenario Analysis	Originally, the scenario technique came from the military field, but today it is also frequently used for economic and social issues. Basically, the scenario technique combines quantitative and qualitative forecasting elements. Thus, no pure linear projection is made on the basis of historical data. The aim of the procedure is to prepare companies for future developments in order to improve their ability to act. The complexity is reduced by the calculation and exclusion of inconsistent future developments. The scenario technique provides consistent future projections based on the information collected during the process.
