Abstract
We are entering the age of the Information Revolution. Managers in this transition period must be dedicated to planned change if they are to respond to emerging needs and markets. New coping skills for personal, role, and organisational change are needed as well as traditional administrative practice and innovative strategies and styles. At present most Western businessmen and executives are too narrowly focused and pay too much attention to short‐term matters. Future organisations are likely to be more humanised yet technological, more focused yet flexible, more cohesive and integrated, more creative and entrepreneurial. They will capitalise on opportunities to serve or create new markets at a global or even interplanetary level.
