About this title

Review:

"Full of insights into the new reality of interlinked economies and international companies. A compelling case for governments to align themselves with the interests of their people--as customers, consumers, and citizens."-- Senator Bill Bradley (D--NJ)"Ohmae has few peers. . . . [His] latest is actually a lucid, compelling . . . highly enjoyable race through a business world which is itself doing just that--racing along in a mostly enjoyable and certainly compelling manner." -- Robert Heller, "Management Today""A true global corporation, [Ohmae] says, serves the interests of consumers, not governments, and wealth comes from the marketplace, not from natural resources. Like an enthusiastic college professor, Ohmae challenges business's status quo with provocative statements."-- Donna Hawley, "San Francisco Chronicle"
