CoolGlobalBiz is a non-partisan blog that explores the nexus and cross-border fusion of business and culture. Feeds and links to CoolGlobalBiz can be found on Guy Kawasaki's online news directory Alltop (economics or small business), on publishers' Web sites powered by digital news curator daylife, and elsewhere. Kingdoms rise and fall, cycles come and go. Every few generations, we're rocked by economic and cultural upheaval, from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Now we're at the cusp of another major epoch, an era of quickening change, innovation and global diversity. Borders dissolve, markets and industries merge. Cross-cultural companies, executives and entrepreneurs stand at the vanguard. The seasons are turning, turning. This ain't your Daddy's economy. The world: curved or flat? No matter, the convergence of business and culture won't wane. For better and worse, the new world is here.
