The Situation

In the last decade, we have seen bubbles in real estate, financial derivatives, oil, commodities, internet companies, and telecom. Now there is speculation that a new bubble already is forming in alternative energy and other "green" sectors. 

Why are we having so many speculative bubbles in such rapid succession? Is it because information and integration across the world has made almost instant and perfect information available everywhere? If so, why is this driving speculation to such high levels? Have we really entered a new business paradigm?  Have the rules changed? 

The CEO Challenge

In this chaotic environment, what should the CEO do to prepare? How can he make sure his business not only survives but also thrives in such an upheaval? How is he supposed to best determine whether the underlying assumptions on every decision he makes are real and not just part of a new speculative mirage?

Most importantly, how can he get ready to take advantage of the significant opportunities that these disruptions are creating?
