Assignment: Business Success in The New Normal
Business success in the increasingly complex global economy, demands a high degree of productivity and effectiveness from all employees, both on an individual level as well as performance in teams. Rhodes (2010) supports this thought:
As the world fitfully rebounds from the Great Recession, many global managers are confronting a "new normal": the prospect of slow growth for many years to come. Managing in this new era will be different
- and much will rest on how willing CEOs and their executive teams are to stray from their comfort zone and challenge their traditional ways. (para 1)
Ollila (2013) adds this comment "For the future challenges the world faces are complicated and global in scope. They cross borders. They potentially affect all of us. They will require far more collaboration between government, business and civil society - not less" (para 1).
