Introduction / overview of Glenwood Motor Center

The world is in a state of turbulent change, suggests John Naisbitt in his book Megatrends" The main challenge for business today is to adapt in this world of accelerating change. Business organizations do not operate in a vacuum, but interact with a number of forces and factors that ultimately influence business performance and profitability. In other words a business is like "an open system" hence there is more need for strategic thinkers than ever before, people with long view of the business to steer these open systems in these turbulent economic times. To survive, business organizations must relate and interact with their environment otherwise those businesses that fail to adapt to their environment will like the dinosaurs of the past eventually become extinct.
