Synopsis

In the battle for global dominance, only those organizations that lead the ongoing globalization of their industries will succeed. That’s why students need a strategic framework that they can apply in a global setting.

• Identify market opportunities worldwide and pursue those opportunities by establishing the necessary presence in all key markets
•  Convert global presence into global competitive advantage
•  Cultivate a global mindset
•  Strive to reinvent the rules of the global game

Each chapter focuses on a specific, action–oriented issue. Reports on the activities of real firms, such as Wal–Mart, Dell Computer, and Canon, provide insights into the challenges associated with globalization and illustrate the author’s findings.
