Abstract

David Grayson, the corporate citizenship guru from Business in the Community, in a foreword to this book, emphasises the pace of change. ‘A single day’s growth in the US economy today is equal to the entire year’s worth in 1830’, he claims. ‘The equivalent of all the science done in 1960 happens in one day today. All of the foreign exchange dealings around the world in 1979 would be performed in a day today, as would all the telephone calls made around the world in 1984. In one day now, as many e-mails are sent around the world as in the whole of 1989.’ And so on.
