    The book New Realities: Business Dynamics at the Frontiers of Globalization presents a series of assessments of where the global economy may be headed.

    It builds upon business cases from companies in:

    • Brazil (operating in agribusiness);
    • China (GVCs);
    • India (education);
    • South Africa (sustainable energy);
    • Madagascar (textiles and clothing).

    The impact of geopolitics, diplomacy, and economic growth in terms of global governance, as well as the role of the BRICS in the world economy, is also addressed.
