Klaus Schwab

The founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum on how the impending technological revolution will change our lives We are on the brink of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And this one will be unlike any other in human history. Characterized by new technologies fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will impact all disciplines, economies and industries - and it will do so at an unprecedented rate. World Economic Forum data predicts that by 2025 we will see: commercial use of nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than human hair; the first transplant of a 3D-printed liver; 10% of all cars on US roads being driverless; and much more besides. In The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Schwab outlines the key technologies driving this revolution, discusses the major impacts on governments, businesses, civil society and individuals, and offers bold ideas for what can be done to shape a better future for all.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution

Thierry Malleret

"The Corona crisis and the Need for a Great Reset" is a guide for anyone who wants to understand how COVID-19 disrupted our social and economic systems, and what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward. Thierry Malleret, founder of the Monthly Barometer, and Klaus Schwab, founder and executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explore what the root causes of these crisis were, and why they lead to a need for a Great Reset.Theirs is a worrying, yet hopeful analysis. COVID-19 has created a great disruptive reset of our global social, economic, and political systems. But the power of human beings lies in being foresighted and having the ingenuity, at least to a certain extent, to take their destiny into their hands and to plan for a better future. This is the purpose of this book: to shake up and to show the deficiencies which were manifest in our global system, even before COVID broke out.

Covid-19: The Great Reset

Reimagining our global economy so it becomes more sustainable and prosperous for all Our global economic system is broken. But we can replace the current picture of global upheaval, unsustainability, and uncertainty with one of an economy that works for all people, and the planet. First, we must eliminate rising income inequality within societies where productivity and wage growth has slowed. Second, we must reduce the dampening effect of monopoly market power wielded by large corporations on innovation and productivity gains. And finally, the short-sighted exploitation of natural resources that is corroding the environment and affecting the lives of many for the worse must end. The debate over the causes of the broken economy—laissez-faire government, poorly managed globalization, the rise of technology in favor of the few, or yet another reason—is wide open. Stakeholder Capitalism: A Global Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet argues convincingly that if we don't start with recognizing the true shape of our problems, our current system will continue to fail us. To help us see our challenges more clearly, Schwab—the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum—looks for the real causes of our system's shortcomings, and for solutions in best practices from around the world in places as diverse as China, Denmark, Ethiopia, Germany, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Singapore. And in doing so, Schwab finds emerging examples of new ways of doing things that provide grounds for hope, including: Individual agency: how countries and policies can make a difference against large external forces A clearly defined social contract: agreement on shared values and goals allows government, business, and individuals to produce the most optimal outcomes Planning for future generations: short-sighted presentism harms our shared future, and that of those yet to be born Better measures of economic success: move beyond a myopic focus on GDP to more complete, human-scaled measures of societal flourishing By accurately describing our real situation, Stakeholder Capitalism is able to pinpoint achievable ways to deal with our problems. Chapter by chapter, Professor Schwab shows us that there are ways for everyone at all levels of society to reshape the broken pieces of the global economy and—country by country, company by company, and citizen by citizen—glue them back together in a way that benefits us all.

Fourth Industrial Revolution

The Great Narrative

Nicholas Davis

World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab offers a practical companion and field guide to his previous book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution. Today, technology is changing everything--how we relate to one another, the way we work, how our economies and goverments function, and even what it means to be human. One need not look hard to see how the incredible advances in artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, biotechnologies, and the internet of things are transforming society in unprecedented ways. But the Fourth Industrial Revolution is just beginning, says Schwab. And at a time of such tremendous uncertainty and such rapid change, he argues it's our actions as individuals and leaders that will determine the trajectory our future will take. We all have a responsibility - as citizens, businesses, and institutions - to work with the current of progress, not against it, to build a future that is ethical, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous. Drawing on contributions from 200 top experts in fields ranging from machine learning to geoengineering to nanotechnology, to data ethics, Schwab equips readers with the practical tools to leverage the technologies of the future to leave the world better, safer, and more resilient than we found it.

World Economic Forum

This year's Global Competitiveness Report appears at a time of exceptional uncertainty. Global economic activity has slowed substantially, stock markets have shown considerable volatility, and the world's major currencies have experienced significant fluctuations. In Europe, where the final steps toward monetary are being taken, output has declined considerably below the region's production potential. In Japan, there are serious concerns about a prolonged recession, and in several countries throughout the rest of Asia, industrial production has shrunk markedly. Other emerging market economies have been subject to financial turmoil that reminds us of the severe crises of 1997 and 1998. The greatest uncertainty, however, concerns the United States, whose economy had essentially come to a standstill in the second quarter of 2001. Coping with the enormous challenges currently facing the global economy requires pursuing a prudent and proactive macroeconomic policy stance. More importantly, it requires strengthening the cross-border networks that promote private investment, entrepreneurship, and social progress around the world. In this endeavor, The Global Competitiveness Report remains an invaluable tool by identifying existing impediments to economic growth and thus helping in the design of policy measures to remove such obstacles as a precondition for advancing human well-being across the globe. This year's Report appears in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks in the United States. The unprecedented tragedy that occurred - and the events these attacks have triggered - have profoundly affected the global economic outlook. In response to this extraordinary economic shock, the 2001-2002 Report includes a separate, shorter-term analysis of the world economy in the new Introduction. Based on responses from 90 senior executives whose companies are part of the World Economic Forum, this "flash survey" assesses the magnitude of the effects of September 11 over the coming months. In addition, no fewer than 17 countries have been added to the country profile analysis, reflecting the rising integration of developing countries into the global economy. It also ensures that The Global Competitiveness Report remains the most authoritative source for policymakers, the business community, and other key stakeholders. Data CD-ROM: For the first time ever, results from the World Economic Forum/Harvard University Executive Opinion Survey are available to researchers and policymakers on CD-ROM. This includes many of the same results used in the construction of the Growth Competitiveness Index and the Current Competitiveness Index.

The Global Competitiveness Report 2001-2002

Many brief essays by Nobel Prize winners, statesmen, scholars, and CEOs discuss challenges facing world leaders, and potential solutions. Topics include the disintegration of value systems, maintaining global security, overcoming discrimination, sustainability, the new information society, employment, national policy-making, and reengineering the corporation. There is little in the way of bibliographic material and references. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

10 Key Challenges in Today's Changing World

Overcoming Indifference

Wing Thye Woo

This book analyzes the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1999. In addition to the issues of financial system restructuring, export-led recovery, crony capitalism, and competitiveness in Asian manufacturing, it examines six key Asian economies--China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand. The book makes clear that there is little particularly Asian about the Asian financial crisis. The generic character of the crisis became clear during 1998, when it reached Russia, South Africa, and Brazil. The spread of the crisis reflects the rapid arrival of global capitalism in a world economy not used to the integration of the advanced and developing countries. The book makes recommendations for reform, including the formation of regional monetary bodies, the establishment of an international bankruptcy system, the democratization of international organizations, the infusion of public money to revive the financial and corporate sectors in Pacific Asia, and stronger supervision over financial institutions. The book emphasizes a mismatch in Pacific Asia between investment in physical hardware (e.g., factories and machinery) and in social software (e.g., scientific research centers and administrative and judiciary systems). In a world of growing international competitiveness, concerns over governance will weigh increasingly heavily on unreformed Asian countries. The long-term competitiveness of Asia rests on its getting its institutions right.

Lessons for a Resilient Asia

The Asian Financial Crisis

Peter Vanham

Unser globales Wirtschaftssystem ist kaputt. Es ist geprägt von globalen Umbrüchen, Unsicherheit und mangelnder Nachhaltigkeit. Aber wir können das derzeitige ökonomische System durch ein anderes ersetzen - eine Wirtschaft, die für alle Menschen und den Planeten funktioniert. Was müssen wir dafür tun? Erstens müssen wir die steigende Einkommensungleichheit innerhalb von Gesellschaften beseitigen, in denen sich das Produktivitäts- und Lohnwachstum verlangsamt hat. Zweitens müssen wir die dämpfende Wirkung der monopolistischen Marktmacht großer Konzerne auf Innovationen und Produktivitätssteigerungen reduzieren. Und schließlich muss die kurzsichtige Ausbeutung natürlicher Ressourcen beendet werden, die die Umwelt zersetzt und das Leben vieler Menschen zum Schlechten beeinflusst. Die Debatte über die Ursachen der kaputten Wirtschaft ist vielfältig - von Laissez-faire-Regierungen, über schlecht gemanagte Globalisierung bis hin zum Aufstieg der Technologie zu Gunsten einiger weniger, um nur einige Punkte zu nennen. Das Buch argumentiert überzeugend, dass unser derzeitiges System uns weiterhin im Stich lassen wird, wenn wir nicht damit beginnen, die wahre Form unserer Probleme zu erkennen. Um uns zu helfen, unsere Herausforderungen klarer zu sehen, sucht Schwab - der Gründer und Executive Chairman des Weltwirtschaftsforums - nach den wahren Ursachen für die Unzulänglichkeiten unseres Systems und nach Lösungen in bewährten Praktiken aus der ganzen Welt an so unterschiedlichen Orten wie China, Dänemark, Äthiopien, Deutschland, Indonesien, Neuseeland und Singapur. Dabei findet Schwab Beispiele für neue Wege, die Anlass zur Hoffnung geben, darunter: - Individuelles Handeln: wie Länder und Politik einen Unterschied gegenüber großen externen Kräften machen können. - Ein klar definierter Gesellschaftsvertrag: Die Einigung auf gemeinsame Werte und Ziele ermöglicht es Regierungen, Wirtschaft und Individuen, die besten Ergebnisse zu erzielen. - Planung für künftige Generationen: Kurzsichtiges Denken schadet unserer gemeinsamen Zukunft und der derjenigen, die noch geboren werden. - Bessere Maßstäbe für wirtschaftlichen Erfolg: weg vom kurzsichtigen Fokus auf das Bruttoinlandsprodukt, hin zu umfassenderen, auf den Menschen bezogenen Maßstäben für gesellschaftliches Wohlergehen. Durch die genaue Beschreibung unserer realen Situation ist der hier vorgestellte Stakeholder-Kapitalismus in der Lage, erreichbare Wege zur Lösung unserer Probleme aufzuzeigen. Kapitel für Kapitel zeigt uns Professor Schwab, dass es für jeden auf allen Ebenen der Gesellschaft Möglichkeiten gibt, die zerbrochenen Teile der globalen Wirtschaft neu zu formen und - Land für Land, Unternehmen für Unternehmen und Bürger für Bürger - wieder so zusammenzusetzen, dass wir alle davon profitieren können.

Wie wir den digitalen Wandel gemeinsam gestalten

Die Zukunft der Vierten Industriellen Revolution

Revolusi industri keempat telah mengubah cara kita hidup, bekerja, dan berhubungan dengan yang lain. Dalam hal skala, cakupan, serta kompleksitasnya, revolusi industri keempat ini belum pernah dialami umat manusia sebelumnya. Teknologi yang berkembang dalam revolusi industri keempat menggabungkan dunia fisik, digital, dan biologis, yang di satu sisi membuka peluang besar untuk kemajuan, tetapi di sisi lain juga memunculkan potensi bahaya yang tidak kecil. Revolusi ini memaksa kita untuk memikirkan ulang bagaimana negara dapat berkembang, bagaimana organisasi menciptakan nilai, dan bahkan apa artinya menjadi manusia. Klaus Schwab, sebagai pendiri dan Ketua Eksekutif Forum Ekonomi Dunia (World Economic Forum), telah berkecimpung dalam berbagai persoalan global selama lebih dari 40 tahun. Setelah mengamati langsung bagaimana para pemimpin dunia menavigasi revolusi digital, Schwab yakin bahwa kita sedang berada di awal periode yang menantang. Dalam buku ini, Schwab menunjukkan karakter kunci dari teknologi-teknologi terkini dan menyoroti peluang serta dilema yang ditimbulkannya. Lebih penting lagi, Schwab mengeksplorasi bagaimana kita dapat mengontrol revolusi industri keempat. Schwab menguraikan bagaimana bentuk-bentuk baru kolaborasi, yang disertai narasi bersama yang positif, dapat membentuk revolusi industri keempat yang memberikan manfaat bagi semua. Jika kita mengambil tanggung jawab bersama untuk membentuk masa depan, di mana inovasi dan teknologi dapat menjadi pelayan bagi masyarakat, kita akan mengangkat kemanusiaan ke tingkat kesadaran moral yang baru.
