For 2018, some business leaders fear that the greatest innovations could also prove to be the greatest threats to current business models. Protiviti recently released a report of the top risks for 2018 based off of a survey of more than 700 c-suite executives and board members.
Joe Tarantino is the CEO of Proviti. He joins Cheddar to break down the findings. Tarantino explains that the chief issues include disruptive innovation, digitalization, cyber threats and shifts in corporate culture.
Protiviti was named a 'Best Places to Work in 2018' by the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award. Tarantino said it is an award the company is proud of and not one they take lightly.
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
