This book describes Malik's strategic solutions for the Revolutions of the New World, which are already underway. They are part of the Great Transformation 21 which the author will address in the book.
In the six parts of this book, he will first look at the dynamics of the Great Transformation 21, its inherent risks of crisis and its opportunities, as well as the labor pains that the New World is suffering. After that, he will deal with the amazingly effective cybernetic systems for strategic navigation and the strategy maps required for that, as well as the empirical quantification of businesses, both existing and yet unknown, which will help break the new territory of innovation. Finally, Malik will reveal the patterns that the tidal currents of great transformations invariably follow, as well as the economic dynamics resulting from them and the strategies required to deal with them.
In the last part of the book he will describe the revolutionary new methods that enable us to master groundbreaking strategic change with great precision and unprecedented time compression - at the "speed of light", so to speak. This way, even enormous corporate growth and size can be managed and turned into true strengths, with perfect ease and using innovative approaches where conventional approaches have proven useless.

PrefaceStrategic Solutions for REvolutions
This book describes my strategic solutions for the REvolutions of the New World, which-although already under way-have yet to be recognized for what they are. That is why most of the measures taken so far are ineffective, with some even having a destructive impact on society.
What I call the New World will be the result of one of the largest global transformations of business and society that has ever taken place. I call it "The Great Transformation21".
The New Challenges
This transformation involves the danger of a social meltdown. At the same time, it also offers a chance for a new economic miracle to bring about a better and more humane social order where organizations function reliably.
What particular course this development will take depends, among other things, on the solutions, methods and tools that leadership elites worldwide can resort to in facing these challenges. It depends on which of the solutions at hand they can identify as genuine solutions, and which they ultimately opt for. One thing is certain: conventional means will not suffice to master the complexity of this transformation, as they have caused much of the current global crisis.
A strong driving force arises from the strategic solutions themselves that I am presenting here. They contribute their share so the upcoming revolutions will happen quickly, while-contrary to previous revolutions-manifesting itself as an innovative breakthrough rather than a violent upheaval.
They liberate us from both, long outdated forms of management and organization and the grotesque limitations of todays's social and political problem-solving processes.
Since 2011 my "Manifesto for Corporate REvolution" has been laid down in my book Corporate Policy and Governance, the second volume in my series Management: Mastering Complexity. Many of the developments outlined there-and even before-have meanwhile materialized, first and foremost the beginning

collapse of the financial system. Further profound changes, such as in technology and the sciences as well as in people's social value structures-in particular those of the younger generation-, in their perspective on and perception of the world, have progressed to a point where they cannot be stopped anymore, so they should be accelerated instead and directed along more constructive paths wherever possible.
So, what most people believed impossible at the time of the above publications became a reality just a few years later. In 2008 I wrote that knowledge would outrank money and information would outrank power. The ongoing self-destruction of the financial system proves my first point; the ever-increasing global impact of the social media proves the second. Ruling and leading will never be the same again.
The financial crisis itself, however, will not be a central topic in this book. I have published everything that needed to be said in this respect in the course of the past 15 years; now I let the facts speak for themselves. The scenarios I have presented-some of them as early as in the 1990s-have come true. The basic pattern of this development is "deflationary depression", accompanied by social impoverishment and revolution-that is, unless economists and politicians do a radical rethink and change their course of action. That is why this book is dominated not so much by analyses as it is by solutions and the tools required for implementation.
The Right Knowledge
The knowledge society in the stricter sense is another topic I will not elaborate on here. I have addressed it in my book Corporate Policy.
Rather, what I make available here is the strategic knowledge that enables top managers in all kinds of organizations to tackle the challenges of the Great Transformation21 reliably, quickly, and effectively. The means to do that are my Management Systems® and the navigation, informatio
