This paper provides a systematized overview of patterns in the scenario planning literature published in
the last decades. Recently, scenario planning has enjoyed a revival, apparent in the „boom‟ in published
research on the matter. Consequently, a major issue that needs to be addressed is how to organize the
literature along precise lines. A number of reviews that describe the current status of the body of literature
and knowledge on scenario planning have made attempts to respond to such requirements. These studies
agree that systematizing the existing literature is a necessary step in developing the field. This paper aims to
contribute to this purpose. The review of the academic literature here conducted is thought to be useful for
both academics and practitioners. For researchers, this systematic overview will not only be constructive in
providing an analysis of the directions of published research but also in setting up a research agenda for the
future. For managers and practitioners, it provides a clear outline of firmrelated articles and discusses their
contribution from a managerial point of view. It also raises awareness with regard to future analytical
methods, and in particular, to scenario planning and its potential contribution to the competitiveness of firms.
