"Companies around the world are facing profound changes. The megatrends of globalization, digitization and demographic change are affecting many areas of life and present challenges to social cohesion: what about solidarity in a globalized world economy? How do algorithms and social media influence our living together? How can we shape coexistence in an increasingly diverse society in the future? The study sheds light on these issues and, with the help of focus questions at the end of each chapter, stimulates debate on shaping the cohesion of the future.
The study was created at the "Trying Times - Rethinking Social Cohesion" conference in Berlin from 4 to 6 September 2019 and serves as a background for the cooperation of the participants at the conference."
