This C-Sector Scenario from the Business Trends Library causes an Impact on the Scenario you may have just been viewing - but is not available in Open Access.

C-Sector Scenarios are not available in Open Access. C-Sector Scenarios are described in the List of Sectors in Open Access. They are provided in Part C of Scenarios from the Business Trends Library - which collects summaries of the Sector Scenarios in one place, giving Part C Development of Trends in the Future.

C-Sector Scenarios are either summaries of Sector Scenarios provided under Part B (of Historical Analysis to produce Constant Trends) or they are summaries of Major Trends - and a selection of such C-Sector Scenarios will be provided to give a picture of the Post Industrial Society (where the individual Sector Scenarios may not be provided under Part B).

A firm can always order underlying Sector Scenarios to such Major Trend C-Sector Scenarios.

You will appreciate the power of the Business Trends Library in bringing you Impacts which may affect your firm, which may arise a long way from your usual purview. People doing Business Environment Assessment generally do not look wide enough to discover Impacts which may affect them. This builds up to the conclusion that Scenarios need to be drawn from a comprehensive Data Base of the Business Environment. This you will get if you subscribe to Scenarios from the Business Trends Library.

Where an impact comes from a Sector which itself is in Open Access you will see how this operates, and how you can evaluate yourself how the Impact arises and its effect on your firm.

This C-Sector Scenario combines the Media Sector from Communications with the Automation and Computation Sectors from Manufacturing. Computers have been linking with other computers, distributing the workloads. Firms established networks of their computers, which linked with other organisations' networks to form the Internet - to which homes connected. Automation started with computers built into machinery. This C-Sector Scenario considers the linkages of such machines with the firms' networks, and other networks to produce the Computer Media - an information Media which also makes decisions and obtains action. Its growth increasingly reverberates around the Business Environment.
