Globalization …
• ‘… the inexorable integration of markets, transportation systems and communication systems to a degree never witnessed before – in a way that is enabling corporations, countries, and individuals to reach around the world farther, faster, deeper and cheaper than ever before’ Friedman, T. (2003)
![Page 4: Dancing with Gorillas LTSN GEES Conference 2004 Paul Redmond, redmonp@hope.ac.uk.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ef39550346cf6f8b530a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Global Reach ‘The Rise of Corporate Global Power’, I.P.S. (2000)
• 51 of the world's top 100 economies are corporations. Only 49 are countries.
• Sales of the Top 200 corporations are greater than the joint sales of all countries, minus the biggest ten.
• Top 200 sales equal 27.5% of world economic activity – this by employing just 0.78% of the world’s workforce.
• WAL*MART employs 5% of the Top 200s’ workforce.

• ‘Services’ account for 76% of UK jobs and are the ‘dominant source of job creation’ (DTI)
• Manufacturing accounts for 17% (down by 16% in last five years)
• Services employ more women than the economy as a whole
• Public sector, distribution, hotels and restaurants are now the largest employers
• Since 1984, the main job-generating service industry has been ‘business services’
• How has this happened, and what has it got to do with graduates?

Message:
Distinct or Extinct

Never make a permanent
career decision.
To be employed is to be at risk. To be employable is to
be secure.
Point 1.
![Page 36: Dancing with Gorillas LTSN GEES Conference 2004 Paul Redmond, redmonp@hope.ac.uk.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ef39550346cf6f8b530a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Blame Nobody!Expect Nothing!Do Something!
Don’t rely on others to look after your career for you. They won’t.
Point 2.
![Page 37: Dancing with Gorillas LTSN GEES Conference 2004 Paul Redmond, redmonp@hope.ac.uk.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ef39550346cf6f8b530a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Don’t Seek Praise. Seek Criticism.
Get a mentor - an honest mentor.
Point 3.
![Page 38: Dancing with Gorillas LTSN GEES Conference 2004 Paul Redmond, redmonp@hope.ac.uk.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062619/5515ef39550346cf6f8b530a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Don’t be afraid of taking risks.
Point 4.

The geek shall inherit the earth.
IT skills are essential – not optional
