Our History Volume 1, Number 1, of this Journal appeared in June 1969. Its title was then Technological Forecasting. The words “and Social Change” were added in Volume 2 (1970-71). The cover announced that it was an international journal “devoted to the methodology of exploratory and normative forecasting to encourage applications to planning in an environment of technological and social change.” I had been approached about the concept by Lore Henlein, editor at Elsevier Science Publishing Company. The occasion was Professor James Bright’s 1968 Technological Forecasting Workshop in Lake Placid, New York, where I was one of the speakers. My position at the time was Associate Director of Corporate Planning at the Lockheed Corporation. I was enthusiastic about the idea and, together with Erich Jantsch and Ralph Lenz, started working to launch the quarterly. The first issue featured articles by England’s Nobel Prize laureate Dennis Gabor on normative forecasting, and by America’s Secretary of the Air Force (previously Deputy NASA administrator) Robert Seamans on action and reaction, with particular consideration of competitive and cooperative aspects of the U.S. and Soviet space programs. Academician N. P. Federenko, director of the Central Economic-Mathematical Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, wrote on planning production and consumption in the Soviet Union. G. Bouladon of the Battelle Institute in Switzerland presented a forecast of aviation’s role in future transportation while Czechoslovakia’s Oto Sulc covered a Delphi application in communications technology. The international nature of the Journal was evident from the start. The list of authors in Volume 1 included Theodore Gordon, Yehezkel Dror and Edward Roberts (all now on our Advisory Board), Norman Dalkey and David Novick of The RAND Corporation, and Aurelio Peccei of the Club of Rome. Methodology articles discussed relevance trees (Fischer), input-output analysis (Carter), the technological progress function (Fusfeld), Delphi (Bernstein and Cetron, Dalkey, Martino), simulation gaming (Gordon, Enzer, and Rochberg), state-of-the-art measurement (Dodson), and factor analysis (Rummel). Application articles covered such diverse fields as V/STOL aircraft, electric automobiles, governmental R&D planning, and the university of the future. Martin0 proved to be a prolific contributor from the very beginning. It is
