We are witnessing more geopolitics, more sustainability, more technology than ever before—and decision-makers in politics and business have to confront new global dynamics if the economy is to weather international tensions, advancing climate change, societal expectations, and ever shorter cycles of innovation. Katrin Suder and Jan F. Kallmorgen illuminate the complex political background and suggest courses for practical action towards anticipating and managing the new risks facing us all in the 2020s. This book considers their effects on markets, business models, supply chains and investments. It makes clear that business strategy and the global situation are two sides of the same coin.
