THE CORPORATION

THE CORPORATION IS A MARVELOUSLY ADAPTABLE STRUCTURE AND JUST AS VERY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE ROLE OF BUSINESS AND BUSINESS MANAGERS HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN THE PAST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. SO WILL THERE SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THE FUTURE 25 YEARS SO WILL THEIR ROLES CHANGE DURING YOUR NEXT 25 YEARS.

ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF EDUCATION IS TO HELP US PERCEIVE THE FUTURE, AND WITH THIS IN MIND I’D LIKE TO POSE SOME RATHER DIFFICULT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE. I’D ALSO LIKE TO SHARE SOME OF MY VIEWS ON THE ANSWER TO SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS. NOT BECAUSE I BELIEVE MY VIEWS ARE DEFINITIVE OR MY ANSWERS ARE COMPLETE.

ON THE CONTRARY BOTH THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ARE DYNAMIC, AND WILL CHANGE- YOUR PERCEPTION AND THOSE OF OTHERS LIKE YOU, TO THE ANSWERS TO THOSE OF OTHERS LIKE YOU TO THE ANSWERS AND SIMILAR QUESTIONS, AS THEY EVOLVE DURING THE YEARS AHEAD, WILL BE IMPORTANT NOT ONLY TO FUTURE OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS AND THE FREE MARKET SYSTEM. BUT ALSO IMPORTANT NOT ONLY TO THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND THE FREE MARKET SYSTEM BUT ALSO IMPORTANT TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL CAREERS.

TO WHAT PURPOSE DO YOU EXPECT TO MANAGE?

YOU ARE CLOSE TO BEING A MANAGER.
