Macro Trends For 2008
According to Dr. Alan Rudi, “Success in business depends upon your ability to understand the “big picture”, referring of course, to the long term macro trends and changes that determine the future business environment.”
We often get mired in the everyday micro trends and do not realize the impact on our lives and businesses that major, global trends can have.
Dr. Rudi, who has had a successful career as both a senior corporate executive and as the Executive Vice President of a major university, sees 12 major trends that we as global business people should be aware of and should monitor for their potential impact on our ability to run profitable companies.
These macro trends range from technology (change may be faster in the future than in the recent past) to demographics (the Boomer generation aging impacts us all) to the economy (capitalism is still the only system that actually improves lives).
