Description: "Never in our lifetime have we faced a future in such a state of flux. We have moved from the age of information to the age of intelligence, where it is all about how we use the information at our fingertips to make intelligent decisions. Foxes thrive in this environment. They have the sharp eyes to spot the flags that signify imminent change, the wit to interpret them and the quick reflexes to respond ahead of the competition. Clem Sunter further develops the scenario planning technique by looking not only at international trends, but also trends and events in South Africa. His topics range from asset management and Julius Malema's political future, to driving through the Karoo and the dangers of standing on abandoned train tracks."--Back cover.
