Building a profitable company in today's dynamic business climate is an immense challenge. It is not "business as usual". New and different forces are shaping the global competitive landscape: 1.) Hyper-rapid technological development is radically changing the way that we all live, work, purchase, collect information, communicate, and even think; 2.) the World Wide Web did not exist a mere ten years ago; now it dominates the strategic mindset of every company, further eliminating global barriers to commerce; 3.) Entrepreneurship has emerged as a world priority as more and more companies are searching for opportunistic exploitation of global markets. Simultaneously, more universities are developing curricula in venture creation and growth, furthering the competitive intensity.
