In the Third Chapter of his book, Andrew Savitz gives an overview of the history of the sustainability movement in American business. He goes on to identify several trends that are making "the increasing demand for corporate responsibility dangerous to ignore and profitable to embrace." These trends include:
- A Freer World
- A More Interdependent World
- A Networked World
- An Imperiled World
- A Socially Conscious World
- A Corporate World
- A World of Empowered Employees
- A World of Investor Activists
- A World of Stakeholders
Choose three of the above "trends" and discuss in your own words how each one is contributing to what the author has called "The Age of Sustainability." Also try to envision how your three trends will impact you in your future business endeavors.
