Abstract

Throughout this book constant reference has been made to the fact that with ever greater frequency uncertainty makes itself felt in social, economic and business phenomena, as a consequence of the rapid changes taking place not only in the field of technology, which has undergone spectacular advance in latter years, but also in the way we human beings conceive life, all of which has given rise to continuous changes in thought, customs, likes and dislikes and the scale of values.
