Global Forces: A Guide for Enlightened Leaders - What Companies and Individuals Can Do

Everyone has heard of globalization, but what does it really mean? How does it actually affect businesses and their prospects for future development, and how should managers be adapting to take advantage of the new opportunities? This volume explores the meaning of globalization, and provides processes and tools to enable managers and business leaders to transform their business, and gear up for the global future. The book is divided into three parts. The first describes the nature of economic globalization and the way that business is changing. The second part shows how these changes are reflected in the way we think about society, organizations and leadership - and how this new consciousness can be exploited for the benefit of all. The third part presents the tools to achieve the necessary transformation, and includes a number of case studies and examples of what can be achieved.
