After reading a thread yesterday about outsourcing, I wanted to post a thread summarizing The Brookings Institute's recent release this month - their first Top 10, with respect to Global Economic challenges, for the year 2007. It was interesting. http://www.brookings.edu/comm/events...topten2007.pdf The following is a summary (rather long, but not as long as the link ). I believe that they are spot on in their analysis and recommendations. What do you think about these Top 10?
