Business is operating in a bewildering new environment in which little is certain, the tempo is quicker, and the dynamics are more complex. A convergence of forces is reshaping the global economy. Emerging regions, such as Africa, Brazil, China and India, have overtaken economies in the West as engines of global growth; the pace of innovation is increasing exponentially; new technologies have created new industries, disrupted old ones, and spawned communication networks of astonishing speed; and global emergencies seem to erupt at ever shorter intervals. Any one of these developmnets can have profound implications for organisations and the people who lend them. Taken together, these forces are creating a new context in which the business operates. This book, “Navigating Business in the 21st Century: Challenges and Opportunities” has been conceived with the idea is to understand and contemplate on these developments to bring about strategies to navigate business in the 21st century.
