The chapters move from how the world economy is shifting, through reinvention, analysis and strategy as globalization retreats, to foresight, imagination and creativity. Case studies put each idea to work: James Bond and Q, a change-maker game, opening a pizza place in Paris, and hiring when the world feels chaotic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe publisher lists the skills the book practices: identifying the actors behind change, running simulations of the future, weighing the risk of political instability and building a strategy under uncertainty. Managers, strategy teams, consultants and business-school students will find a working method here. Ghez writes for leaders who would rather draw the plans than fight the fires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeremy Ghez teaches economics and international affairs at HEC Paris, where he has served as academic director of the school's Center for Geopolitics, according to his publisher.
