The 1985 management issues forum conducted by the Conference Board

Article Abstract:

About one thousand chief executive officers (CEOs) were polled on the importance of technology to global economic conditions and to the future of international economic relations. The denationalization and deregulation of business, increasing protectionism and nationalism, new public attitudes on business, increased corporate political activity, and the realization that much of business is conducted on an international basis have together resulted in international turbulence. As business begins to grasp the implications of changing world events, management styles have become more flexible, responsive, and sensitive throughout.
