Return of Inflation: Multi National Corporations are good at limiting tax demanded by Nation States. But the return of Inflation dents this position. The problem is Nation State currencies loose purchasing power, and keeping accounts in a shrinking unit over states profits and consequently taxes paid. What can be done? See Business Trends Library Briefings.

Another Banking Crisis? There has been a trickle of Banking Failures. The Business Trends Library finds the future period will be plagued by Banking problems - one starting before the previous one (the Credit Crunch) is over. Governments have started to announce that their Banks are sound. But by the time you get a trickle of Banking failures in various parts of the World the processes of a Banking Crisis is advanced See Business Trends Library Briefings.

Will Climate Change issues pose problems for the Business Environment? Yes - if firms do not provide goods and services people want tp buy. Already there is voter reaction to people spending a fortune on changing their equipment. Firms need to evaluate climate change propaganda to form a viable strategy on what people will buy. See Business Trends Library Briefings.

INDEX:


1. THE TEN AREAS OF THE BUSINESS TRENDS LIBRARY

The Business Trends Library is constructed from 10 Major Areas:

The links give the Contents of the Area.


2. SECTORS OF THE BUSINESS TRENDS LIBRARY

Each
Area is made up of a number of Sectors - each a fundamental activity of man with a long history. The above links show an Area's Sectors. All the Sectors can be seen here.

Historical Analysis identifies long term trends in each Sector. Interaction of these trends within different Sectors of the Library is the key to future Scenarios ( Dr Richard Whaley, Futures 16 p269-76, June 1985). The pattern of such Impacts of major trends between the ten Areas is shown below.

Sectors selected for a firm thus contain relevant impacts from the whole Library. People doing Business Environment Assessment generally do not look wide enough to identify things which will affect them. More Surprises are revealed the more comprehensive the database from which the Scenarios are drawn. To order a Prospectus, see Orders (Section 4).
