Breaking the Bank & Other Myths…

By Chris Alexander

The communications/IT revolution has changed the way we live, work, study and how we interact with people around us and with the world at large. The advent of the internet was the first step and with the passage of time, the world has become a more open place. The advent of social media was another major change in this ever changing and fast paced world which has brought us in to what has become a Global village.

This change has affected the core of our social fabric, the voices of the masses cannot be supressed anymore and that has resulted in fall of decades long dynasties in different parts of the world. When it comes to dynasties, it was not only the political dynasties which fell apart but also various seemingly untouchable businesses as well.  Conglomerates were unable to carry their own weight and fell into pieces; the case of Nortel still reverberates today.
