What in the
World is Going On? A 2007 Intelligence Briefing for Chief Executives
Today more than ever before, top-level executives must be aware of world
affairs. Key trends in politics, economics and even culture have an impact on
every business, and to manage effectively executives must understand how these
trends will affect their companies. This keynote features noted
intelligence authority Herb Meyer discussing national security, economic and
cultural issues that dominate the news.
