“Knowledge:What does our shift towards a knowledge economy, away from manual labour, mean for both business and society?

Technology:How do organisations develop and/or use technology, and protect their intellectual property? How are the concepts of copyright, reliability and intellectual property changing today?

Ethics:Does the rise of corporate social responsibility and environmental issues mean that businesses are more morally and socially responsible today?

Globalisation:How do organisations perform on the world stage and balance the global with the local? What does living in a global village mean for organisations, as well as individuals, today and tomorrow?”
