April 2008 Issue:

GLOBAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS

  • Inflationary Trends
    Inflation has been on the rise both in advanced as well as emerging markets since the middle of 2007. Data suggests that global growth is slowing, and the economy is projected to decelerate from 4.9% in 2007 to 4.1% in 2008. 

Manpower Trends

  • Foreign Labour
    Worldwide, there is an upward trend in employment of foreign workers, which impact both the local labour force as well as the economy.

Innovation

  • Innovative Management
    Technology and globalisation are creating new sets of opportunities. Companies need to innovate their management practices to better cope with and thrive in this business landscape.

Management Practices

  • Strategic Planning
    Strategic planning is critical to the continued success of any organisation. Though most companies have a formal strategic-planning process, they don’t  use it to make their most important decisions according to a survey.
