Economic future factors
How will work and business be different?
Together with the amplifying political and technological future factors, basic ideological and biospheric future factors cause socio-cultural and therefore economic changes, which in turn can act as future factors themselves. They create frameworks within which people and organiza-tions develop goals and strategies to satisfy their needs. The polarization of markets is an example of this. Helped by the western democracies smoothing the way and by technologies such as the PC and the Internet, the ideal of individualism created the preconditions for the fragmentation and specialization of markets up to "one-to-one marketing".
