Knyazeva H., Alyushin A.

The integral and synthetic opportunities of the Big History concept, which has
been rapidly developing in the late decades, are considered in the article. The conception
is close to the approach of universal evolutionism but has its peculiar features
which are significant for establishing constructive principles of management,
global strategic vision, futures studies, and effective decision-making in the global
context. Within Big History framework, social (including spiritual), biological,
geological, and astrophysical history are considered as stages of the universal evolutionary
process determined by all-pervading vectors of development and by
mega-trends. Some general laws from Big Bang to networks of super-reason studied
in the frames of this conception. Strategies of managerial, prognostic and entrepreneurial
activities are discussed as well.
