Global Risk/Global Opportunity: Ten Essential Tools for Tracking Minds, Markets and Money

This book provides business leaders, managers, and consultants with tools that help strategize the future along with illuminating the past.It is an attempt to show how independent-thinking managers, using basic economic tools, can track the three elements that together drive the world's complex and somewhat unstable economic system—minds, markets, and money. Once they understand these three elements, they can transform global risk into business opportunities. Taking the global economic crisis as the background, the book illustrates how managers can identify the early signs of future crises. Written in an anecdotal style, the book is packed with case studies covering major episodes of risk and crisis.
