2005: What CEOs are talking about

During the past year, several themes have preoccupied senior executives, government officials, and other people concerned with business and public policy: the continuing emergence of Asia; offshoring management, economics, and policies; growth in the world's biggest companies; energy prices and supply; and the impact of aging populations. To show how companies and governments could best respond to the emerging opportunities and challenges, the Quarterly published many articles on these themes.
