In this chapter, the authors review the changing currents in the stream of the new globalization as the developing riptide in the flows of dissemination, transfer, and exchange of goods and services drags in more areas and enhances business complexity. The tension between local and global priorities impacts all aspects of organizational leadership and talent management, including supervising the supply chain for materials and employees, where organizations must source where the best value for money assets or resources can be obtained globally. In particular, the new digitally connected business environment for global and international organizations continues to evolve. The complex dynamics of migrations, and the globalization of business in an interconnected world of changing climate and shifting spheres of political, military, and economic influence, pose threats as well as opportunities to multitudes of people and organizations, and ultimately the sustainability of the planet.
