This session will focus on major disruption forces since the 60's and their impact on the chemical business and chemical engineering. 5 disruption forces: 1) the oil crises of the 70s; 2) the financial raiders of the 80s & 90s; 3) the divesting: rise of the pieces; 4) hedge funds & short term gain and 5) rise of natural gas due to hydraulic fracturing.
