Presentation Background:
The New Competitive Realities: It’s a Brave New Business World
It’s been called “creative-destruction on steroids.” New forces of change are sweeping the global economy from cutting the ties of oil dependency to embracing digital, biotechnological, and nanotechnology revolutions. As these changes unfold, there will be profound, disruptive, and unpredictable effects, and will inevitably impact federal funding, business development and government regulations.
Workforce globalization is rapidly expanding, far beyond the migration of manufacturing, as multinational businesses embrace global delivery models and assemble global supply and service chains. Low wage nations around the world are hungry for a piece of the action, while advanced nations struggle with the move to “conceptual” economies.
How do we keep up? Learn what the United States needs to do to stay competitive, and how these new realities could affect your business.
