Journal Article 2021 09 10 This study sought to design a framework for teaching foresight to top managers of governmental organizations in the Islamic Republic of Iran. First, the research literature in three areas of "management of governmental organizations", "foresight" and "teaching foresight" was reviewed. Then, using the "Grounded Theory" method and using the "in-depth interview" tool, first-hand data were collected. This data in three different phases, through "open coding, axial coding and selective coding", were analyzed. Based on the research findings, a general framework for teaching foresight to top managers of Iranian governmental organizations was presented in which in addition to the category of foresight education as a axial category, other categories related to this field such as causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences were also introduced. Therefore, this macro framework can be used as a general model for teaching foresight to top managers of governmental organizations in the Islamic Republic of Iran.<br />  This study sought to design a framework for teaching foresight to top managers of governmental organizations in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
