ABSTRACT
Megatrend #1: The evolution of organizational development from Continuous Improvement to Transformation to Reinvention. Megatrend #2: The increase in complexity of commerce from optimal single channel design to Uni-channel, Uni-Logistics, Uni-Marketing and Uni-Technology Optionality design. Megatrend #3: The speed of change and the level of innovation, entrepreneurship, and disruption to keep pace. The future for commerce is awesome, but it is a whole new ball game. There has never been a level of opportunity for entrepreneurism, innovation, and disruption as there is today. The keys to grabbing this opportunity are dealing with Reinvention, the Disruption Cycle and Optionality while building huge success, and all will be disclosed in this special Memorial Lecture in honor of Moshe M. Barash.
