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.

Nation States attempt to put this support on to business so reducing the value of the employee product, contributing to unemployment. Businesses are also subject to the ebb and flow, and also need support. The Scenario deals with multiple impacts tending to increase unemployment, the end of the notion of a job for life, how people may arrange their affairs to cater for periods of being part of the surplus manpower, and the reaction of businesses to these impacts.
