World Recession
Profound long-lasting consequences for all public services
Swingeing cuts in services either underway or in prospect
The search for ‘more for less’
In many countries, deep problems with public sector borrowing, spending and debt
Globalisation, so what?
Understanding identity, core values and cultural practices is more important than ever
Jobs can be quickly transferred from one side of the world to another
Consumers/researchers look across the world for the best
Higher order skills are at a premium
Integrated world markets (IT & containerisation mean new lower-cost producers in the world market)
Education itself is globalising: mobile students, distance/online learning, competition between providers

• What about in 5 years’ time? In ten years? What might it look like then?
EXTENSION ACTIVITY• Consider each of the 4 quadrants in the heuristic
• Estimate what the current relative levels of activity are in your jurisdiction of South Australia
• Is this the right balance in your view?
