Vielnetter and Sell, who are associated with a global management and leadership consultancy, identify six megatrends that will affect businesses in the future: globalization, environmental crisis, individualization and value pluralism, digitization, demographic changes, and converging technologies. They describe the facts about each, questions business leaders should ask, implications for them, the consequences of these trends, and necessary responses, with case examples.
