Summary It is a general perception that in recent years the world has been changing rapidly and that it is likely to keep changing in future years. In the introduction to his latest book, Bill Gates predicts that: "Business is going to change more in the next ten years than in the last fifty." See Gates (1999) p. XIV. He adds that "These changes will occur because of a disarmingly simple idea: the flow of digital information." Ibid. Kenichi Ohmae has called attention to the globalization of the four Is, namely Investment, Industry, Information, and Individuals. As he points out, investment is no longer limited by geography; industry has gone global with the growing role of the multinationals and with the distribution of their productive capacities in several countries; information is more easily available through the internet and can be and is transferred cheaply and in real time from one part of the globe to another part; and individuals are less and less confined to the place where they were born and raised. See Ohmae (1995). The cost of travel, especially when expressed in terms of a person's income, has fallen dramatically thus encouraging many to visit other countries
