Ten trends to watch in 2006
One of the most coolest article in one of my favourite websites... Mckinsey Quarterly
This can give a lot of insights on how can AIESEC can capitalize on this...
Few trends and excerpts...
Centers of economic activity will shift profoundly, not just globally, but also regionally. As a consequence of economic liberalization, technological advances, capital market developments, and demographic shifts, the world has embarked on a massive realignment of economic activity. Although there will undoubtedly be shocks and setbacks, this realignment will persist. Today, Asia (excluding Japan) accounts for 13 percent of world GDP, while Western Europe accounts for more than 30 percent. Within the next 20 years the two will nearly converge. Some industries and functions—manufacturing and IT services, for example—will shift even more dramatically. The story is not simply the march to Asia. Shifts within regions are as significant as those occurring across regions.

How is AIESEC currently truly working on GN levels to capitalize this? There is a lot of scope for ER in this area and steps are already made by AIESEC in this area with certain GN structures working effectively now - one of the best egs that come to my mind is the ER working in SSGN...
Technological connectivity will transform the way people live and interact.
The technology revolution has been just that. Yet we are at the early, not mature, stage of this revolution. Individuals, public sectors, and businesses are learning how to make the best use of IT in designing processes and in developing and accessing knowledge. New developments in fields such as biotechnology, laser technology, and nanotechnology are moving well beyond the realm of products and services.
More transformational than technology itself is the shift in behavior that it enables. We work not just globally but also instantaneously. We are forming communities and relationships in new ways (indeed, 12 percent of US newlyweds last year met online).

Talk about Initiative Groups on Technology and capitalizing on this? Entrepreneurship in the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) industry is huge in Sweden, and thats where local committees in Stockholm are formulating products to capitalize on this...
