October 30, 2000 [IMAGE] (Continued from Page 5) agreed governments will promote more trade and investment, 70% agreed that globally consistent accounting principles will be established by 2010, and over 80% believed the companies dominating the utility business in 2010 will be multi-national. Those results validate the strategies of companies using mergers and acquisitions to create global giants. However, events such as the IMF protests in Prague and WTO protests in Seattle this year highlight what could be growing opposition to globalization. Politics can veer off in unexpected directions, so it is unwise to be so committed to any one view of where voters and government policy are moving that you lack contingency plans. Utilities can minimize their risk in this uncertain era, while at the same time moving forward decisively. They can use management tools such as scenario-based planning, real options valuation, and computer modeling - these approaches provide the means for understanding the array of strategies available and for defining the significance of choosing one or the other. Additionally, the studies show that utilities need systems, processes, and a culture that make them versatile - that permit them to nurture 'just-in-case' technologies, products, and businesses, spot leading indicators of change, and switch strategies without confusion and delay. The two reports are segments of The Utility Executive's Field Guide to the Future. Part 1 summarizes the results of a global survey of 185 decision makers in utilities, corporations, and engineering firms in 15 countries, while Part 2 focuses on the outlook for regulatory policy and globalization. Part 2 is based not only on the survey results but also on 75 subsequent interviews with utility CEOs, power managers in large corporations, government officials, and others around the world. The research also included an intensive review of economic studies, government reports, opinion surveys, and other sources. For more information visit [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Enerfax Daily? -? Page 7? -?
