We begin by discussing what we believe will be the major drivers of change: regulation, technology, and customer preferences.
Learning by engaging, iterating and persisting, rather than pursuing academic studies or writing papers, seem to be the major drivers of change (although I also am a fan of scholarship to expand human knowledge that in some cases entrepreneurs may apply or leverage).
Ultimately, although there have been major gains in malaria reduction with the majority of effort from international organisations, to get to the point of malaria elimination, African countries have to be the major drivers of malaria control strategies.
Worldwide degradation of coral reefs has been well documented [33] [35], and although the effects of global climate change (and associated effects of bleaching, acidification, and disease) are thought to be the major drivers, local effects related to human population density (e.g., destructive fishing, pollution) exacerbate the destruction to coral habitats [36] [41].
Changing patterns of diet, physical activity, and ageing populations are thought to be the major drivers of the increasing prevalence of diabetes in Africa [ 3].
During the past 3-4 decades, changes in the food system seem to be the major drivers of the rise of the global epidemic of obesity [ 3].
How a company executes may be the major driver of its success, but how it is perceived is also crucial — perception, as they say, is reality.
Soil moisture appeared to be the major driver of plant and litter richness effects in our experiment.
Tropical deforestation continues to be the major driver of biodiversity loss and a considerable contributor to climate change.
Maybe counter-intuitively, this appears to be the major driver behind the observed increase in spatial light Gini coefficients over that period.
