business environment is constantly changing and diversifying and companies need to find the appropriate solutions to create long-term growth and ensure that their core business activity does not become obsolete. A good idea in this sense would be to diversify one's business by prospecting new economic sectors and by creating viable alternatives in other areas.

There are various views held by management in terms of the methods that should be used to manage the organization. The work of Hartman (nd) states that the evolution of modern management thinking started first in the nineteenth century and flourishing during the twentieth century, which is reported to have "witnessed a revolution in management theory ranging from classical theory to the Japanese management approach."

The modern business world is continuously reshaped by globalization. It is a curious coincidence that a lot of business opportunities are emerging while the number of emerging talent that can make meaningful use of such talent is decreasing.

UK National Environment
