Young World Rising shakes up conventional notions of demographics, globalization, and innovation in a vision that combines hope and challenge. It's a wake-up call for the old guard, a how-to manual for forward-thinking organizations, and a call to arms for the next generation of talent."D︣aniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind" ""Great stories of the ways that collaborative approaches are solving old problems, and creating new opportunities in the parts of the world that are overdue for some good news."D︣on Tapscott, author of Grown Up Digital and coauthor of Wikinomics" ""Young World Rising combines insightful analysis and great stories that challenge old stereotypes and inspire new approaches for businesses, governments, international organizations, and NGOs. It makes a powerful case for a twenty-first century model that places entrepreneurship and innovation clearly at the center and will be a valuable guide for both policymakers and business leaders."A︣mbassador Albert Ramdin, Assistant Secretary General, Organization of American States" "It's the business story of the decade: all around the world, young people wired with unprecedented access to networks and information technologies are poised to transform the global knowledge economy from the bottom up. Armed with new ideas, new ways to engage customers, new solutions to age-old problems, and new organizational models, businesses in youthful emerging markets like India, South Africa, Brazil, the Philippines, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Colombia, and Vietnam are changing their futuresa︣nd ours."
