ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the macro-level transformation of societies. The main theories that present societal change from a general perspective are presented and evaluated from three analytical views: time reference, continuity and the dynamics of change. After the analysis, the origins, methods and insights into the emergence and immergence of the future, of arguably the most experienced, far-sighted and accurate observer of our world; John Naisbitt, are reviewed, and out of all those elements the 3P (Platforms, Pieces and Probabilities) - Model has been sketched.
