The company of the future

What will tomorrow’s corporate giants look like? The rapid rise of world-beating firms from emerging economies ranging from hi-tech to extractives sectors, is already prompting changes in corporate strategy to stay ahead of the game. Now, a UK-based think tank, Tomorrow’s Company, has teamed with leading firms to launch an inquiry addressing core questions on the future role of business in society. Co-chaired by BP and Infosys and with experts such as John Elkington on the inquiry team it should spark some interesting debate. Will business really take on global challenges?

Michael - thanks for the tip. Interesting discussion, although the questions seem a little broad. How can you arrive at anything other than platitudes when you're trying to answer such a wide-ranging question? Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I blogged about your post here: http://www.nextbillion.net/blogs/2006/08/28/tomorrows-company Thanks again - keep up the good work!
