1. THE TEN AREAS OF THE BUSINESS TRENDS LIBRARY

The Business Trends Library is constructed from 10 Major Areas:

COMMUNICATIONS - Information, and Transport
FOOD PRODUCTION
CONSTRUCTION
ENERGY
MANUFACTURING - materials, components, equipment, consumer
DISTRIBUTION
COMMERCE - savings, banking, insurance, markets
SERVICES
GOVERNMENT

Several Areas are available on line, see Business Trends Publications

2. SECTORS OF THE BUSINESS TRENDS LIBRARY

Each Area is made up of a number of Sectors - each a fundamental activity of man with a long history.

Historical Analysis identifies long term trends in each Sector. Interaction of these trends within different Sectors of the Library is the key to future Scenarios ( Dr Richard Whaley, Futures 16 p269-76, June 1985). The pattern of such Impacts of major trends between the ten Areas is shown below.

Sectors selected for a firm thus contain impacts from the whole Library. People doing Business Environment Assessment generally do not look wide enough to identify things which will affect them. To order a Prospectus, see Orders (Section 4).
