Australia: A Lighthouse in the Global Storm

Australia is often called the "lucky country" - a large, mineral-rich land mass with a relatively small population, an advanced infrastructure, a stable government and a well-functioning society. By nearly every measure, Australia is one of the world's most successful countries. Although luck has played its role, Australia's advantage still must be persistently earned, today and in the decades ahead, in the face of constant business disruption and increasing geopolitical instability.This book is aimed at Australia's business leaders and addresses four transformational themes that will be key to the stability and growth of the Australian economy: leadership at a time of moral confusion; culture versus AI; achieving structural productivity gains; and redesigning the global supply chains for resilience. The second part of the book then examines seven of Australia's most important industry sectors and the role that these four transformational themes will play in these sectors' development. In short, this is a manifesto that sets out the crucial actions and directions for Australia's business leaders to follow, that will ensure their organizations continue to thrive and that Australia as a country maintains its special advantages and continues to play a leading role in the world economy.,
