The first decade of the new millennium has ushered in unprecedented changes in society and the way business is conducted. The rapid deployment of communication technology and the ensuing inorganic growth of Internet connectivity even to remote locations, combined with development of lightning-fast information storage and retrieval systems, convergence of internet with mobile telephony and other technologies has ensured instant fingertip access to information – empowering individuals like never before.
The empowered customer of the new millennium lives in the midst of the information society and demands the highest quality products and services a phenomenon unheard of just a decade back. The march of technology and the consumer of today has completely altered the business paradigm and has forced organisations to be far more consumer and service focused.
Transnational manufacturing and outsourcing are two major trends that have emerged in the past decade to take into account the factor cost and skill advantages of various nations. Today all major engineering products are manufactured across various nations taking advantage of cost and skills. For example, laptop components can be manufactured in Taiwan, the laptop may be assembled in Japan and then exported to India as semi-knocked-down kits which then is finally assembled and sold to Indian consumers. This is due to Taiwans competency in component manufacturing, Japans large and modern assembly plants and Indias growing demand.
Similarly outsourcing back-office work to India and other developing countries has been mainly based on cost and competency.

Unlearning the past, understanding and learning from the present in order to take meaningful decisions form the must have qualities of the modern, current day manager. Every successful manager must be geared to and possess the right attitude to not only assimilate and process the right information from the fast evolving global business ecosystem but have the ability to put the information into practice.
A successful manager of today has to look into money market movements, commodity price fluctuations, global political situations, tax structures of major economies, policy pronouncements and many other parameters before arriving at major decisions.
