Trends to watch for 2006

Small Business Trends has an interesting article, Futurist Watts Wacker’s Trends to Watch in 2006. Several of the trends are pretty straight-forward, but one in particular caught my attention:

"The global culture will ramp up. But the global culture is not the same as the American culture exported overseas. Recognize that America is only one player in the development of the global culture. The global culture is a megatrend. It will be at its apex in 2008 when China hosts the Olympics. Business needs to be prepared for this blended culture that crosses country boundaries."

So just how does business prepare for the pending global culture? Now that, my friends, is a big question. Anyone have pertinent thoughts to share on this topic?
