Multidisciplinarity in a Globlized World: Contemporary Challenges

Multidisciplinarity has become a fundamental condition for business in a globalized world. Survival in a world of growing interdependence through modernization and technological development demands that scientists and business people should be able to synthesize elements from different fields of business and science. Ultimately, this means that global economic problems cannot be solved without a multidisciplinary approach that involves not only knowledge of classical economics and finance, but also knowledge and understanding of different cultures, ideologies, civilizations and worldviews. The authors attempt to identify which elements from various disciplines spanning across the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, are necessary for obtaining global economic goals, especially the Millennium goals of the United Nations. All of the eight millennium goals, such as the eradication of poverty, universal primary education, combating deadly diseases, environmental sustainability etc., have an economic basis, but cannot be achieved without a multidisciplinary synthesis of elements from other scientific fields. Because of this, the authors put special emphasis on the Macrowikinomics approach as a new format for achieving the economic Millennium goals set by the United Nations.
