Mega Market Trends: Strategic Implications for Global Business

Overview

Chris Kuehl is the co-founder and managing director of Armada Corporate Intelligence. Armada focuses on combining the traditions of corporate and competitive intelligence with strategic and tactical planning to provide clients with a clear view of the world in which they exist—and what they can do to advance their goals. He is the editor and publisher of Strategic Global Intelligence, a daily electronic publication providing information on international political and economic trends affecting global business. In addition to his role at Armada, Chris is a senior faculty member for the Keller Graduate School of Management and has been a visiting faculty member at universities in Estonia, Hungary, Taiwan, Russia and Singapore. He is a knowledgeable and engaging public speaker on issues ranging from global business and economics to cultural challenges, and has spoken before over 350 groups in the last five years. Chris holds a Ph.D. in political economics and masters degrees in both East Asian Studies and Soviet and East European Studies.

This talk will address trends in five areas that will have a profound impact on global economics and business in 2007 - energy, trade patterns, global financial flows, shifts in logistics and supply chain needs and political change. By design, the talk will likely raise more questions than answers--but it will give participants much to consider in the months to come.
