✦ Synopsis

Many external influences on an organization are difficult, if not impossible, to predict. The first half of 2011 witnessed the sudden spread of revolutions from Tunisia to Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, and Libya. How far will these events extend? What will be the impact on businesses in the countries affected and on corporations partnering with Arab firms? The destructive tsunami that followed Japan's earthquake and the subsequent fears about damaged nuclear plants raise questions relating to supply-chain management and energy production.
