Abstract
As stated earlier, a great measure of environmental turbulence has been taking place in the last decade. This has altered many of the economic, social, technological, and even political dimensions of business. This process is bound to continue.

Some change will be for the better but other changes could undermine the potential and performance of those corporations.
