As Jeffrey Garten, explains in the preface, the recently published second edition offers not only updates, not only new examples, not just one more self-analysis. There are three completely new chapters. ” all given what happened, since the first edition (2001), this allows, in fact additions. Anil Gupta, Vijay Govindarajan and Haiyan Wang are focused on four major tasks for any company created and remain as the dominant global player in its industry first:
“You have people that their company leads the industry in identifying new market opportunities worldwide and in the pursuit of these opportunities by establishing the necessary presence in all major markets.”
2 . “Two, people have tirelessly to transform global presence into global competitive advantage.”
3 “Three, people need to cultivate a global mindset.”
4 “Four, in developing global strategies, people need to take full account of the rapid growth of emerging economies, particularly the rise of China and India.”
As co-authors were the first recognize that it is quite easy as to give these regulations. Presumably, they agree with Thomas Edison: “Vision without execution is hallucination.” After a short but to determine exactly “what” pay the “Transforming global presence into global competitive advantage,” the authors of most of their attention to explain the “how”. They wanted their large book are in the coverage of topics related to the creation and use of global presence, and that each chapter would focus on a specific action-oriented subject such as building a global presence, cultivating a global mindset, or the dynamics of Global Business Team.
While citing real-world initiatives, several dozen exemplary companies (such as Cisco Systems, FedEx, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Ikea, Marriott, Microsoft, Nucor Procter & Gamble and Wal-Mart), the authors address key questions, problems and challenges such as these go to:
Which five imperatives the pursuit of global expansion?
, under what conditions the alliance-based modes better suited?
Under what conditions accelerated global expansion is better suited?
When location decisions are made, what criteria should be considered?
What four factors, the speed to go with cultivating a global mindset?
What are the most common barriers to effective and efficient knowledge transfer?
know how to maximize accumulation and mobilization?
What are the primary reasons for the failure of a Global Business Team (GBT) are?
how to overcome communication barriers within a global organization?
What are the most important benefits derived from early globalization?
What is a “twin track” strategy and why it should be carried out in China and India?
Gupta, Govindarajan and Wang is the wealth of information they provide are praised and especially on the rigor of its analysis of this information. All three are pragmatists. What has changed for other global companies that have transformed its global presence in the global competitive advantage work? What lessons can be drawn from these initiatives? In this context I am reminded of what Peter Drucker once remarked: “We spend a lot of time teaching leaders what to do. We do not teach spend enough time to stop what Heads of State and Government. Half the guide I met not need to learn what to do. They must learn to stop that. “All the observations and suggestions Gupta, Govindarajan and Wang shares her story during a single purpose for the information and the process includes the right decisions taken are decisions that address what not to do, and do what they will. Although her book is a “must read” for C-level executives at companies looking to transform their global presence into competitive advantage, I think it should be by the C-level executives in other (non-global) organizations be read within the supply / value chain of this company.
I also highly recommend Friedman’s aforementioned The World Is Flat 3rd 0, Victor Fung, William Fung, and Yoram (Jerry) Wind’s Competing in a flat world, CK Prahalad The Fortune’s at the bottom of the pyramid, the written Kenichi Ohmae, the next global stage, and operation of China jointly by Jimmy Hexter and Jonathan Wötzel.

After reading this book, I went back and looked at the big library I accumulated while at the School of International & Public Affairs at Columbia University, and I realized that no book in my entire collection has taught me so much about the global economy as “The Quest for Global Dominance.” It is written engagingly and so full of substance, I can not learn from a more fun, how to protect your company from the harmful effects of “globalization”, while his enormous upside potential exposed to imagine remaining.

A textbook approach to globalization, but much of what is largely based the book on organizational theory. Probably a good book for everyone around the person, without background, that in the field of study or discipline.
