    • Abstract:
      The article presents an outlook on world business and economics for 2007. Economic disparities ware growing and will continue if the absence of cooperation between the rich and poor persists and if inequality is not addressed. About 3.3 million high-service jobs will move out of the U.S. as a result of the spread of Internet and the availability of white-collar jobs overseas. It is predicted that pharmaceutical manufacturing will migrate to developing countries with skilled scientific labor pools. Nanotechnology breakthroughs will also prosper.
