Die Autoren analysieren scharfsinnig die Auswirkungen der Globalisierung auf Unternehmen und Individuen. Sie lehnen sowohl ungebremstes Wachstum als auch apokalyptische Szenarien ab und betonen, dass langweilige Geschäftsstrategien unattraktiv sind.

Mit provokanten Ideen und einem frischen Schreibstil präsentiert "Funky Business forever" ein Manifest für innovative Ansätze im 21. Jahrhundert und fordert dazu auf, das Gewöhnliche zu hinterfragen.
