| Summary | Rapid economic internationalization has intensified or accelerated trade frictions, catching up of developing countries, business environmental homogeneity among different countries, changes in the industrial structures, maturation of business society; and technological innovations. These changes are in turn expected to have drastic effects on the prevailing life style and values in each country. This survey-a part of the memorial project celebrating the 110th anniversary of our newspaper-covered people in ten different countries in order to predict what the world and people will look like in 2010, a quarter of century away from now. The international opinion survey encompasses the wide areas of (1) economic/business relations, (2) global issues and themes, (3) living and consumption, (4) scientific technology, and (5) values. The findings tell how people in these countries predict the year 2010 and what they think will happen and how they think they will live in the process. |
