Have your say on sustainable development
Twenty years after the landmark 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, we still face a growing list of global threats and challenges. Do you believe that sustainable development is still important in 2012?
Embracing volatility
Slow recovery of global business markets is impacting CEO confidence. Despite this impact, CEOs are looking at emerging markets as a key source for future growth, and they envision an increase in open, international trade.
Local approaches to global growth
CEOs say emerging markets more important important for growth than developed markets, but Germany and the US join China and India among the five most important economies.
Risk resilience
Global businesses confronted a portfolio of unrelated high-impact global risks. Prudent risk management should focus less on the probabilities and more on understanding potential consequences.
Facing the talent challenge
CEOs are changing talent management strategies to confront skills gaps. Skills shortages are seen as a top threat to business expansion.
Innovating on multiple fronts
Improving effectiveness of innovation is a major strategic priority. New products and services will drive growth for 28% of companies.
