This has been made possible as a result of market globalization which has reduced the cost of transportation, shipping and communication (Kotler & Keller, 2009). For example, it becomes easier to access product information. The twenty-first century has seen a surge in online business which has intervened in the traditional flow of goods and manufacturing through direct communication/interaction and customization of goods and services according to customer’s needs and specification. Product research that used to take months or days can be done in no time. Product Evaluation nowadays is one mouse click away. In the past, people had to go...

...The 21st century Manager The 21st century sustainability leadership is about courage, creativity and faith in people. It is a values-based leadership. Sustainability opportunities and challenges are so complex, both of global scale and yet deeply rooted in people's cultures and beliefs, that tomorrow's leaders will need four core qualities to achieve success: • systems thinking to identify paradigms driving change • mediation skills to facilitate knowledge sharing, ensure stakeholders' ownership and foster innovation • vision rooted in community service and ethical behaviour • decisiveness in ever changing environments with blurred boundaries The 21st century leadership is about leading with the heart and to serve rather than rule. A sustainability leader of the 21st century has to have the ability to create a meaningful context out of the existing sustainability landscape. Sustainability is a broad notion that encompasses all aspects of our lives from economic to social and environmental actions. A number of ways to promote sustainability is infinite, and this vague plethora of contents is often the source of difficulty in raising awareness and participation in the movement toward sustainable future. It is therefore important for future leaders to recognise and provide innovative, sensitive, and meaningful sustainability possibilities. As an entrepreneur, leadership is the most important part of your job. But in a constantly changing business climate, you...

...“Marketing in the 21st century will be of paramount importance to the continuing development and growth of China. In order to continue the prosperous growth into the future survival and growth of companies in China, there is a need to adopt and embrace a marketing philosophy”. China’s participation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) since 2001 has boosted its economic growth and accelerated its legal reformation. Multinationals, thus, have gained confident to invest in China, resulting in rapid increase in foreign investment and made China as one of the largest foreign investment destinations in the world. The country’s WTO accession makes it an irreversible trend to integrate its economy into the global economic framework. With the unprecedented business opportunities and competition brought by foreign investment, marketing in the 21st century will be of significant importance to the continuing development and growth of China. In order to continue the prosperous growth into the future survival and growth of companies in China, there is a need to embrace a marketing philosophy. To survive in the 21st century, companies in China should, at a minimal effort, adopt the marketing concept and be customer-centered, that is to meet customers’ needs profitably.

...‘Building a durable corporation requires long-term goals as well as rules to channel investments and - initiatives toward the achievement of these goals. These rules- which I will call “strategy”- have several dimensions. A strategy defines in broad terms where and how the firm will seek to add value, the opportunities it will pursue, the breadth and attributes of the firm’s product lines, its pricing policies, distribution channels, technologies, R & D efforts, and so on.’ (Amar V., 2000 pg 265). ‘Broadly, strategies encompass the set of approaches that the company will use to achieve its objectives’ (Jobber and Lancaster, 2006 pg 49) A well defined strategy should therefore integrate decisions about; scope of the business, objectives, resource allocation, developing sustainable differential advantage and synergy. The importance of strategy in the achievement of business goals cannot therefore be over emphasized judging from the above features. Split into corporate and competitive strategies, the former determines the scale and scope of the business while the later determines the sustainability of the company in the ever dynamic and competitive business environment. Whether inward out (resource based) or outward in (market based), competitive strategy is cardinal to the continued existence if the firm. Since successful strategies are those which adapt firms to the opportunities and threats in their markets/environments and which develop their internal capabilities...

...Case for Analysis: Perdue Farms Inc. Responding to the 21st Century Challenges 1. Describe the change in management style at Perdue Farms. By all accounts, Frank Perdue was a workaholic. He was a true entrepreneur. With little education, he started his own company, worked long hours, made many single handed decisions and grew the company. He was a traditional leader and used a centralized management style and kept decision making authority in his own hands. Initially, employees were expected to just do their jobs and it was not until later years that Frank encouraged employee participation in quality and operational decisions. While Jim Perdue also has the entrepreneurial spirit, he is highly educated and has the temperament to move the company into a different type of management style. He believes in the importance of the work force and adopts a people first management style. He, like his father, believed the success of the business relies on providing quality products. But Jim believes the workers, or associates as they are called, play an integral role in that process. He believes the associates are the ones that strive to assure the quality of the product and therefore the satisfaction of the customers. Jim implemented many employee benefit programs in an effort increase associate satisfaction. His idea was to maximize company productivity by using the ideas and information provided by everyone in the organization. The management style at Perdue gradually shifted...
