존 나이스 비츠와 함께 '메가 트렌드' 시리즈를 공저했던 패트리셔 애버딘, 그가 <메가트렌드 2000>이후 10년만에 펴내는 책이다. 개인과 기업, 자본주의 경제의 관점에서 일어나는 거시적인 변화를 제시하고, 우리가 각각 무엇을 어떻게 해야 할지에 대한 청사진을 명쾌하게 제시한다.

이 책의 특징은 외적인 사회 경제적 필요성과 함께 내적 가치의 변화까지 변화의 주체로 판단하고 그에 따른 변화와 개인의 삶, 일, 투자의 방식이 어떻게 변화해야 하는지를 밝히고 있다는 점이다.

책에서 제시된 7가지의 거대 흐름을 통해 이 책 전반을 관통하고 있는 가장 큰 흐름은 바로 깨어 있는 자본주의(Conscious Capital)의 부상이다. 사회적 변화는 가치의 변화와 경제적 필요성이 만날 때 발생한다는 기존 가설에 입각해 이제 새로운 자본주의를 이끌 트렌드로 '가치 중심적 자본주의', 즉 '깨어 있는 자본주의'를 제시한다.

영적 변화는 삶을 근본적으로 바꾸어놓는다. 때문에 어떤 장벽에 부닥친다고 해도 영적인 삶 이전의 방식으로 돌아가진 않는다...프로젝트나 목적, 미션, 그리고 이 세상에서 우리가 얻은 깨달음을 필요로 하는 곳에 투입하라. 사실 사람들이 체화한 영적인 힘은 이미 조직에 반영되고 있다. 비즈니스에서도 마찬가지이다. 개인적 차원에서 촉발된 영적인 변화는 이제 사적인 영역은 물론 제도적인 영역으로까지 넘쳐흐르고 있는 것이다. -본문 38~39p 중에서


「포춘」은 '도요타가 최초로 휘발유와 전기를 동력으로 사용하는 프리우스 세단을 선보였을 때, 디트로이트의 자동차 회사들은 코웃음을 쳤었다. 그러나 현재 웃고 있는 것은 도요타이다. 이 하이브리드 차량은 도요타의 공급 능력으로는 수요를 따라갈 수 없을 정도로 공전의 히트를 쳤다. 뛰어난 제품과 품질에 대한 훌륭한 명성은 도요타의 미국 내 자동차 시장점유율을 1986년의 6.47퍼센트에서 작년에는 12.2퍼센트까지 오르게 해주었다'라고 보도했다. -본문 201p 중에서

예전에 죤 나이스비츠의 메가트렌드 2000을 읽은 기억이 있지만 지금은 기억이 가물가물하다.

그러나 이 책 메가트렌드 2010은 여러가지 면에서 생각할 거리들을 많이 주었다.

나는 책을 읽을 때에 목차를 자세히 보는 편이다. 왜냐면 목차에 전체의 흐름들이 잘 녹아져 있기에 그렇다. 이 책은 지금과 장래의 세계와 공동체의 흐름들을 장악할 7가지 주제들을 언급한다. 비교적 읽기에 어렵지는 않으면서도 공감이 되는 내용들이 많았다. 특별히

1장 영성의 발견

3장 중간 계층의 부상

5장 가치를 추구하는 소비자

등이 인상적이었는데 사실상 이 책이 전체적으로 강조하는 것은 자본주의는 그 정글의 법칙대로

진행되어서는 안되고 의식있는 소비자들에 의해 책임있는 자본주의로 그 방향이 바뀌고 있으며

가능한 많은 사람들이 그 물결에 동참해야 한다는 점을 여러각도에서 반복적으로 전달하고

있다. 그러면서, 저자는 소위 "깨어있는 자본주의의 부상"이 더이상 이상이 아니고 가능한 가치

임을 역설한다. 세세한 흐름에 집중하기 보다는 전체적인 그림을 잡는데 큰 도움이 될 것 같다.

일독을 권한다.

In the wake of corporate scandal, recession, record deficits, and terrorist attacks, more and more people are turning inward to determine where their true values lie. Likewise, more and more companies are discovering that placing social and environmental values ahead of the bottom line is actually helping to boost profits. In this trade paperback edition of Megatrends 2010, Patricia Aburdene, co-author of the bestselling Megatrends 2000 investigates "corporate social responsibility" and identifies seven new megatrends that will redefine business in the coming years.Aburdene, who has been hailed by the Christian Science Monitor as "one of the foremost trend trackers in the United States," discovers that significant numbers of both new-economy and old-guard companies such as AOL, GM, and Xerox are tapping into the wave of conscious capitalism by bringing meditation into the workplace, forcing stricter environmental controls on their vendors, and donating both time and money to social causes.

I've been a fan of the MegaTrend series since the beginning.. but was apprehensive when I saw that John Naisbitt was not involved in this book.

Even while reading, I kept thinking.. this isn't what I expect from a Megatrends book.

Despite this disconnect.. and especially upon further reflection, I've found that MegaTrend 2010 has indeed followed the major trends and is very appropriate for today.

Amazing research is sited showing that more and more people are expecting good corporate citizenship. Aburdene tells us this proves Milton Friedman wrong "A corporation exists for the benefit of it's shareholders"... though I'd compromise and say that now "A corporation exists to benefit it's shareholder according to their current values"

Besides, several examples are cited where a corporation doing the right thing MAKE MORE PROFIT. That's got to benefit the shareholders.

This is one of the trends. Thought provoking, important issues for our time, and great for planning ahead.

If you're going to be around for a few years... read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The spiritual transformation of capitalism?
Reviewed in the United States on 9 June 2006

Against the recent exposures of the "shadow-side" of capitalism (Enron, Worldcom, accounting scandals), author Patricia Aburdene heralds a bright transformation occuring. It is a transformation towards a more responsible, human, ecological and long-term view of business and consumerism. It is one having more to do with "heart and spirit" than with facts and figures. It is about businesses being concerned with other considerations beyond their legal obligation to increase shareholder value. It is about consumers who look for companies who have like-minded values to their own - and not just buying the cheapest product at Wal-mart. It is about developing a more expansive philosophy of life and subtly encorporating one's beliefs and values into one's work to make the world a better place. It is about giving back and not just taking from people and the planet.

At the heart of this trend, Patricia Aburdene suggests, is a deep spiritual transformation of both companies and consumers alike. So, are the days corporate scandal over? According to Ms. Aberdene (and a good part of the media), this may be the case as a new emphasis on corporate responsibility and consumer consciousness is (thankfully) emerging that won't tolerate such excess. And, as she asserts, this transformation is being led by more conscious CEO's who practice daily meditation (like Bill Ford), shareholder activists, inspired middle managers, socially responsible investors as well as a new generation of conscious consumers who practice "LOHAS" (A Life Of Health And Sustainability). Forget the narrow, hippie-fringe image of those interested in the environment, solar energy, organic food and social causes ... it is a strong mainstream trend here to stay. And businesses who ignore it, will do so at their own peril according to the author.

Compared to other books on corporate responsibility and sustainable development, this book goes into depth about the personal spirituality that often initiates such transformations. Ms. Auberdene is clearly an enthusiastic proponent and practitioner of personal spiritual development and dedicates a large portion of the book to describing how many top executives and entire companies are encorporating various "methods for spiritual tranformation." She gives a wide variety of examples of what this looks like from the perspective of various beliefs or philosophies (including atheists who she cites as being "equally committed to do good"). However, not all might be familiar - or comfortable - with her more "New Age" vocabulary of "Spirit," the "Corporate Shaman," "visualization" or even meditation.

Her account is not academic in tone but flows easily and is packed with many interesting stories, facts and trend data that paint a bright possibility of a better way of living and doing business. If there is any criticism of her perspective of this megatrend it is that she may be way too optimistic that the average consumer stressed from all sides in life is going to take the time and effort to care about things like if their coffee is fair trade or if their kid's clothes are made of organic cotton that does not use pesticides or herbicides. Also, compared to previous megatrend volumes, this 2005 release is more "mono-thematic" and highlights seven sub-trends to the overall megatrend of "conscious capitalism." So, it does not cover many of the other trends that are occuring (as other reviews note). But, her treatment of the topic is enlightening and hopeful, albeit optimistic. 4.5 stars.

Treading water is not my idea of being entertained-let alone informed or inspired.
Why do I feel annoyed when a reporter seems to be pretending to be a visionary authority, takes a long time to say a few things that went on a while ago and then seems to think it justifies patronizing the audience.
All I can think is that it's business.
To get people to pay for what they can find more easily in a shorter time, maybe from Wikipedia, for free.

Tell me please: Who is going to benefit from listening to this?
People who know something will be insulted and impatient.
People who want to learn something will get little.
Repetitive and long winded with an undertone of woo woo spirtual wish-wash.
My opinions: A waste of money-more importantly of time.

For more cutting edge mainstream fun for free:

Many more will occur with the process of the inquiry so prepare to be investing money on worthy books and audio that will pave your life better.

One more recommendation for understanding the present in reference to the future: Free The Future of a Radical Price by Kevin Anderson.http://www.amazon.com/Free-Future-Radical-Chris-Anderson/dp/1401322905/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262403702&sr=1-1

Due to technological progress, change is happening faster than people can digest. Change is difficult for most people to adjust to, but right now with such chaos all over the world in so many areas of living, fear has taken over for many people. This book gives a great positive prospective, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a positive approach for the future.

Patricia - the author - narrates this CD edition. And since she's not speaking to a crowd, but sounds like she's talking to a mike in a closet with sleeping neighbors next door, she gets so quiet at times, that she's hard to hear. Then if you turn the volume up, you're likely to have your ear drums rattled the next time. Reading the book was better.

While the book appears somewhat ineffectual at first it comes together to provide a sounding board for those involved in spearheading business improvement initiatives. In fact, it is quite a significant piece of the puzzle that is business.

Did not like John Naisbitt's ex-wife writing style at all. Hard to understand and put it away after the 1st or 2nd chapter. I wish and hope that John comes back out of retirement to write another Megatrend Book for the 2nd decade of the 21st Century. Nice try, Patricia, but you are no "John Naisbitt".
