Megatrends 2010 $14.56 In MEGATRENDS 2010, trend watcher and futurologist Patricia Aburdene predicts that the next thrust in business will be along the line of social responsibility. According to Aburdene, corporations are discovering two related facts: Socially conscious businesses can thrive, despite propaganda to the contrary, and customers, or "Conscious Consumers," are actively seeking out socially responsible businesses and avoiding those that are not. She names the companies that have gotten on board, such as Hewlett-Packard, Timberland, and 3M, and evaluates the performance of green funds, or market funds that invest in socially responsible companies. Aburdene extrapolates the future for businesses, workers, and their families, as spirituality and ethics become the new bottom line.
