Since the business world is extremely volatile, businesses need to create flexible strategies and management practices that enable their organizations to adapt to the rapidly changing face of the business world. 1. Social Challenges Globalization has made it easier for businesses to interact with different cultures. However, there are many social and cultural differences that businesses need to integrate into their operations. Remaining ignorant of these social and cultural differences can hurt a business’ credibility and profitability. There is so much competition in the business world that organizations face increasing pressure to become more ethical and transparent. Consumers all over the world now have universal access to information, and it is becoming harder for organizations to keep a competitive advantage without misleading the public. Businesses must provide accurate information to its consumers or risk being accused of fraud. Society and governments create sanctions and regulations to provide organizations with ethical oversight to enhance their accountability and transparency. 2. Innovation The legal, education, financial, and fiscal systems in different countries impact the face of business. Companies seeking to make sound investment and business decisions need to be innovative in how they operate, develop, and deploy their products and services. Consideration needs to be taken to reduce the use of resources so that organizations can become more efficient and competitive. The creation of beneficial partnerships with universities and research facilities and the development of technologically enhanced strategies can make businesses more profitable and competitive in different economies. These strategies can also increase compliance with local and federal governments. 3. Economics The face of economics and the rate of change is drastically different among countries. There is a disparity in global economies and businesses need to be aware of those differences so they can determine the profitability and direction of their business models and operations. In some areas, the market may be dominated by a small number of competitors. Organizations seeking to break into those markets need to adjust their business practices accordingly. Decisions need to be made with careful consideration to the response of consumers, competitors, and the dynamics of the economy. 4. Politics and Government Relations Embedded in every aspect of social, innovation, and economic trends are politics and government. They help to increase the value of social capital, business, entrepreneurship, and promote immigration, all of which dictates the amount of government and political involvement in today’s world. While technology continues to define the face of business, government and political forces will always seek to control it to even the playing field.
