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.

Business planning in the new Millennium
The rapid changes in the business environment are forcing companies to become more agile, nimble and proactive to remain successful.
