Dr. Chimerine will analyze the key factors that will impact economic and business performance in the years ahead, as well as the outlook for financial markets, and for important sectors and industries.

The New Business Realities

The business environment in the U.S. and abroad is changing more rapidly and more profoundly than ever before-no business can operate successfully without an understanding of these changes, and without adapting to them.

Dr. Chimerine will discuss the origin of these new business realities, and others that are likely to develop in the years ahead, and the implications for key management priorities and strategies.

Competing Successfully in the New Economy

The U.S. and global economics are currently more competitive than ever in economic history. The intensification of domestic competition in part resulting from the Internet and other new technologies, coupled with growing foreign competition, has changed the competitive balance and mix in virtually every industry.

Dr. Chimerine will discuss the new strategies for success in this more competitive environment, including strategies for dealing with the increase in risk and uncertainty that it has created.
