ABSTRACT

It is hard to manage an organization in today’s turbulent world. Practically every day, we learn of a new technology, social dilemma or environmental problem. Businesses worry about the proliferation of new regulations and the effects of globalization. Governments struggle to maintain services while addressing the needs of an increasingly diverse and growing population amid an anti-tax culture. Unless you want to be buffeted by each change, you need a framework for making sense of what is happening in the world so that you can foresee changes and take action before they happen.
