Gerardus Mercator (March 5, 1512 - December 2, 1594) is remembered for the Mercator projection world map. The Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection. It became the standard map projection for nautical purposes because of its ability to represent lines of constant course. The development of the Mercator projection represented a major breakthrough in the nautical cartography of the 16th century. He constructed this new chart and first used it in 1569; it had parallel lines of longitude to aid navigation by sea, as compass courses could be marked as straight lines. The global economy of the 21st century presents new opportunities and challenges for business and organizations of all kinds. Breakthrough approaches and models are required to seize the benefits of the new integrated economy.Why Mercator XXI
