Abstract	Summary form only given. Alvin and Heidi Toffler have written a series of books in which they predict worldwide changes. Those changes will profoundly impact society, culture, science, politics, and economics. In The Third Wave, they predicted a new Revolution on the scale of what is normally described in the west as the Industrial revolution-the Knowledge Revolution. The authors believe that a basic understanding of the Tofflers' analyses provides knowledge driven businesses with a means to adapt the late John Anderson's "New Horizons" techniques for creating alternative futures within the context of national policy, technology and a changing world. The authors describe the need to reassert national technology policy as a major driver for corporate survival and market advantage within the transnational context of world of the Third Wave. The ability to influence and control the creation, application and optimization of knowledge, and the supporting transnational technological infrastructures, are predicted to emerge as the new natural determinant of national power.
