This chapter aims to increase our understanding of the ways in which forms of organizing the future can be observed and interpreted. In a first step, it outlines a system-theoretical perspective that provides a starting point to analyse how organizations refer to time by making decisions. Organizing is conceptualized as decision-making and decisions as present operations that split past and future with the ambition to affect the future. In a second step, this theoretical perspective is illustrated by an analysis of the historic discourse on decision-making with the aim to shed light on the modes of how decision-making and the production of time are intertwined in organizations. Whereas at the beginning of the last century, the concentration of past information was important for decision-making, the following decades have been more future-oriented. Today, an extreme concentration on future potential along with a "feel" for the present becomes important.
