Businesses in every sector, industry, and market must take action now to define new enterprise goals, strategies, and action plans - or face the likely consequences. John Doehring's timely, eye-opening book reveals the top ten uber-trends that are already revolutionizing our world and explores the implications that business leaders and entrepreneurs must consider for success in the 21st century, Fast Future ahead.
