ABSTRACT

The world's first virtual shopping center opened in Korea. All of the products are displayed on LCD screens that allow us to order the items by touching the screen. We undergo some major transformations in our mother's womb, and these changes within us continue until long after we are buried. Changes in the ways we eat, the amounts of food we have, the amount of work we do, and advances in medical science have greatly extended our life expectancy. With all of this knowledge base and added brainpower available, new business opportunities are flooding the market. New-product development cycles are being cut in half every 5 years. Outside factors are changing the way we do business and the products we produce, and the market we serve is continuously changing. The successful individual tries to give up his or her old habits for something else that is newer and better.
