ABSTRACT
Massive social changes have brought prosperity to many individuals, groups and nations in the global economy. Technological developments continue to facilitate the transformation of organizational consultants' personal and work lives. Some aspects of the global society are a reality. A number of developing nations have shown that under the right conditions, globalization can lift poor people out of poverty. Interestingly, there are parallels between developing and developed countries. Just as in developing countries, within developed nations there are also winners and losers in the global economy. Taking a dynamic social systems perspective, business, community, governmental, health, and Non-Governmental Organizations leaders can address the attitudinal domains to bring underdeveloped, often marginalized, groups and nations into the global economy. Even though there are many economic obstacles, new thinking by corporate leaders can bring less developed nations into the global economy in a more constructive fashion and thereby decrease the gap between the haves and have knots of the world.
