Businesses Get a "Se |
|
| Like animals, companies have always monitored changes in their environments. Historically, companies have moved slowly in response to changes. For example, if a retailer��셲 sales of red sweaters outpaced sales of green sweaters during the Christmas shopping season, the results would not be noticed until months later. By the time the retailer could react, the holiday season was over, and the insights might not be relevant to the following year. |

The Entrepreneurial |
|
| Several forces are converging to make this an unprecedented time to start a business. And that trend is already bearing fruit. Consider the fact that the number of the nation��셲 smallest businesses, those which only employ their owners, increased by 2.2 million from 1997 to 2002, according to the Census Bureau. |

| Enormous increases in processing power and bandwidth are blurring the lines between the real world and the virtual one. As work, education, government, and entertainment have moved on-line, the barriers of space and time that formerly marked different parts of people��셲 lives have disappeared. Virtual work teams, telecommuting, long-distance learning, and electronic shopping for many have resulted in an ��쏿nything, anywhere, anytime��� lifestyle, in which formerly distinct areas of people��셲 lives are now intertwined in cyberspace. People��셲 lives and their relationships with others are increasingly taking place in this electronic reality. As a result, digital technology has transformed the personal and public lives of most Americans over the past 15 years. |

The World Is Swimmin |
|
| An old saying tells us, ��쏽ou can never be too thin or too rich.��� But the truth is that you can have too much cash. Today, the developing world and Europe are spending less money than they are taking in, and the result is a surplus of savings that the global economy must somehow learn to use effectively.
