A project of Senior Seminar of Marin Academy, 2001

Technology and the Global Economy:
A Citizen's Guide to the Corporate Economy of the 21st century

This is a project designed to enable the average citizen to study and understand the modern corporate world and its structure. It is relatively simple to navigate and fairly easy to understand.

After revamping our approach several times, we finally settled on each of the students taking a specific industry and researching the top 4 or 5 companies in that industry. The results are often surprising (six companies dominate the entire range of media in the US, for example).

This is only a beginning. We hope that other schools will continue and expand on this project. The students are entirely responsible for their individual copy, and they would welcome your e-mail comments.
