Emerging Global Megatrends

While the combined forces of technology and open markets led directly to the global context of business, the world is a dynamic place and many forces continue to shape the environment. Some trends that emerged during the final stages of globalization are accelerating and will continue to influence future direction while new influences emerge, sometimes as a result of the impact of previous forces. Managers need to not only understand global trends and forces, but be ever vigilant about new directions as well as countervailing forces.
