Multi-polar World
Accenture’s close interaction with clients all around the globe, as well as its ongoing research into High Performance Business, has convinced it that globalization has entered a new phase. Accenture believes that whereas once economic activity and power was mainly centered in North America, Europe and Japan, new centers of significant economic activity and power are beginning to emerge. The emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) are leading this development. These emerging economies will soon achieve parity with the developed world. The implications are profound: to achieve high performance, businesses must be able to operate globally, competing both for new markets and for talent. Find out more.
