Elon University
The prediction, in brief:

Globalization and the information revolution run the world. What can we do? Adapt or die … We need to develop a higher tolerance for disorder to cope with this new world. That doesn’t mean accepting disorder, but rather, working with the disorder to introduce order.

Predictor: Grove, Andy

Prediction, in context:

In a 1998 article in Canadaone Magazine, Michael Rock quotes a 1995 article from Fortune magazine in which Andy Grove, founder and head of Intel, makes the following statement: ”Globalization and the information revolution run the world. What can we do? Adapt or die. We live and work in a fast world, and it’s not getting any slower. If we see a need (personal or business) and don’t address it, someone else will, somewhere. We need to develop a higher tolerance for disorder to cope with this new world. That doesn’t mean accepting disorder, but rather, working with the disorder to introduce order.”
