Anil Gupta and Haiyan Wang, renowned scholars on globalisation recently gave a duo presentation on the accelerating fusion of technology and globalisation on business.
The client found great insights from Anil and Haiyan‘s presentation called “Global Game Changers: The Accelerating Fusion of Technology and Globalization”. Here is a quick look of the synopsis of their talk:
In the early 1990s, China was a relatively small economy which had just built its very first highway. Mobile phones were a luxury purchased mainly by rich Europeans. And, social media meant walking over to your neighbor to borrow his/her newspaper. How the world has changed over the last twenty years. Yet, notwithstanding the change we have witnessed in recent years, you can bet that the quantum of change over the next ten years will be even greater than over the last twenty. The forces that are driving this transformation include:
- The rise of emerging markets, in particular emerging Asia
- The transformation of physical into digital
- A more hyper-connected world – but by data and capital rather than trade in goods
- Rapidly rising inequality and its power to cause political upheaval
- Climate change and the havoc that it can create
- Growing economic and geopolitical risks
- Divergent demographics – the developed old and the emerging young
- The rise of the empowered individual.
The collective impact of these global game changers will be such that the structure and dynamics of the world’s economy, politics, and culture in 2025 will be fundamentally different from what they are today. Gupta and Wang will also discuss what these megatrends mean for countries, companies, and investors in terms of who can expect to thrive in the new era.
