The interdisciplinary field of futures research is now at the heart of policy-making and business strategy, but the serious study of the future has its roots in Cold War strategy, led by Hermann Kahn at the RAND Corporation and the Hudson Institute. The migration of futures research into business was accompanied by a burgeoning countercultural futurism, most vividly embodied in Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog. The founding of the Global Business Network in 1987 brought together many of the key players from business futurism and the avant-garde wing of futures studies, forging a high-powered consultancy that went on to provide services for multi-national corporations and government agencies. As pressing contemporary issues such as global security and climate change prompt futures researchers to develop scenarios intended to deal with potentially extinction-level catastrophes, can an interrogation of the recent history of the future contribute to the release of a critical engagement with the future that is not beholden to the lockdown of its Cold War legacy?

The Impact

The availability of FinTechs has greatly proliferated in recent years, and this has caused an uptick in FinTech research in the finance field. Despite the recent surge in popularity of FinTech, there is still a severe lack of research on FinTech companies, particularly through the sociotechnical lens or the relation between the users or stakeholders associated with FinTechs and FinTech technology itself. This chapter aimed to fill this void by examining the world of FinTech and innovation in the financial services industry through a socio-technical lens by examining secondary data, such as reports from consulting firms. This provides a better understanding of the social, technological, and organisational actors involved in the development of FinTech ecosystems, in addition to the dynamics of the evolution of FinTech ecosystems and their outcomes as a result of service innovation.

In the midst of the growing prominence of international interconnectivity and contradicting attention skewed by misinformation about global impact, this book presents a straightforward, readable commentary on mega trends in globalization by focusing on its history, its present, and its future. The book takes the mystery out of what is happening economically, culturally, and socially around the world. Is globalization the bogeyman, bugbear, and goblin coming out of the dark with the intention of taking our children and ruining our lives? It is the authors’ goal to present a balanced and simple explanation of what is happening around the world and how it affects everyone. The book highlights the constancy of change and examines how we got to where we are today. It encourages thinking about where we’ve been, fosters realistic examination of where we are now, and invites a dialogue on where we can go in the future.

Some extraordinary events have been taking place in the European Union in recent years. This group of countries has introduced a new currency, has expanded to a 25 member country single market, and is in the process of implementing a European Union constitution. Because these events will have an impact on the United States and on global business, it is important to monitor and evaluate activities of the EU. This paper briefly reviews the development of the European Union, then discusses recent events and the implications of European Union activities for business, and looks at future possibilities for the EU.
