ABSTRACT
The world is so connected that the feedback loops are more intense. Our supply chains are global. Our financial markets are global. So uncertainty in one part of the world infiltrates all parts of the world. These days, there are things that just come shooting across the bow – economic volatility and the impact of natural events, like the Japanese earthquake and tsunami – at much greater frequency than we’ve ever seen, said Ellen Kullman, CEO of DuPont.
