New Business Realities of the 21st Century introduces five driving forces impacting the way business is done today. First, spend some time analyzing the ideas it presents. Compare the tables for the two centuries, and look for overall themes or patterns in the changes between the two columns. Take the perspective of someone managing a business, and imagine how business professionals might be affected by these new realities.
For your initial post in this discussion, select one of the driving forces and describe the influence that force has had on your professional life. Consider any past experiences you may have had with the impact of that force on a business. For example, how has it affected your management skills or interpersonal communication skills? Because you are being asked to write from your personal perspective, you may use first person pronouns (I, me). Since this discussion is meant to stimulate thought, rather than to analyze in depth, your post should be in the range of 200–300 words.
To ensure your participation meets the expectations, refer to the G.R.E.A.T. Discussion and Feedback guidelines provided in the Resources.
