Date of issue : Monday 05th 2009f January 2009
This is a virtual magazine for the entrepreneurial and innovative people of the Age of Knowledge. It is published since January 2000. It is a platform for the dialogue between the academic research and the practice. In addition it serves also as publication platform for the Institute for Strategic Innovation at the Educatis University (www.educatisgsm.com).
In the middle of the turmoil, which may become the worst in human history, something new, something big, is emerging. It is the possibility of a new Golden Age. Out of the ashes of the existing civilization a new society can emerge; a society offering a decent life style for the majority of the human population. The focus of entrepreneurship has to be refocused on the well being of humanity, the preservation of the ecosystems and the future generations. We all are children of the same planet and together we can create a meaningful future. We can facilitate the transformation. It is time to leave the comfort zone we all are entrenched in and to explore the new reality we are facing. Help us to spread the message of Beyond to as many people as possible.
The break in the publication of our magazine is mainly due to the fact, that during the last two years we have concentrated our efforts on the research of the Great Transformation which has led to the publication of the book: “Beyond Transformation in Business and Society” written by Mario Raich and Simon Dolan. The book is available directly through the website of the publisher: http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=281378
You can find a whole chapter of the book in form of a PDF. You can obviously purchase the book through your bookstore or through amazon.
You can watch a New Year Power Point Presentation based on Beyond at: www.mbvsuite.com/dolancv/beyond_new_year_message_2009_English.pps

The Story of the Great Transformation |
The Story This story began one million years ago and is about to end in the middle of this century. It is the story of the Great Transformation of human culture. The world around us seems to be changing at a mounting pace, the number of key issues is increasing and we have difficulty coping with this. We wonder what the underlying forces shaping our world are and fear that some day tectonic shifts will totally transform the social and business landscape. We are no doubt living in a world of transformation and the world of tomorrow will be very different from that of today. It is a strange period in human history. We can see more and more signs of serious problems in all areas of life. Climate change is only one of them. It is a very serious issue, but the growing population is the most worrisome one.
