The Global Redistribution of Knowledge, Power,
Wealth
Global Boundary Condition #2: In 1997, Peter Drucker predicted
that the under-population of developed countries in
North America, Japan, and Europe and the sharply rising birth
rate in developing countries had irrevocably changed the landscape
of the world’s economy for the next 100 years. Global
advances in science and technology combined with demographics
have flattened the playing field for emerging nations like
India and China. For example, calls made by Americans to customer
service centers are often routed seamlessly to technical experts
in India or other emerging nations. Economic growth in developed
countries like the U.S. cannot come from putting more people
to work or from an increased number of domestic consumers,
so it must come from the increased productivity of knowledge
workers, which creates increasing pressure to do more with
less. This trend will only intensify as the global redistribution
of knowledge, power, and wealth runs its course. The global
redistribution of knowledge, power, and wealth will dramatically
change the workplace and may be become one of the biggest issues
that corporate culture must contend with.
